Why Location Matters for Panchang
We calculated this Panchang specifically for Bulawayo using your exact coordinates and timezone. This matters because sunrise and sunset times change based on where you are. A Panchang for Delhi won't give accurate timings for Mumbai or New York.
Using the wrong location can cause errors of several minutes to hours. This makes the auspicious timings wrong. Location-specific calculations ensure the timings match the actual astronomical events at your place.

The five elements (Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana, and Vara) together show the nature of each day. This system has been used for thousands of years and continues to guide millions of people in their daily lives.
