What is Panchang?+
Panchang(literally "five limbs") is the traditional Hindu calendar and almanac. It consists of five elements: Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (lunar mansion), Yoga (luni-solar combination), Karana (half of tithi), and Vara (weekday). It is used daily to determine auspicious timings for rituals, ceremonies, and important activities.
The Tithiis calculated from the angular distance between the Sun and Moon. Each 12 degrees of separation equals one tithi, giving 30 tithis in a lunar month — 15 in the waxing phase (Shukla Paksha) and 15 in the waning phase (Krishna Paksha).
Checking the daily panchang is an integral part of Hindu tradition. It helps in selecting muhurtas (auspicious moments) for starting new ventures, performing puja, fasting on specific tithis like Ekadashi, and understanding the planetary influences of the day.

Tech professionals frequently consult choghadiya for product launches, funding meetings, and joining dates.

BangaloreFestivals & Panchang
Bangalore's major festivals — Ugadi, Dasara, Makara Sankranti— are calculated using the Hindu lunisolar calendar. Festival dates change each year because the lunar calendar drifts against the solar calendar. The Panchang above shows today's Tithi and Nakshatra. For complete annual festival almanacs with specific timings for Bangalore, use the Ishvaram Jyotish app.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is today's Panchang calculated for Bangalore?
The Panchang for Bangalore is calculated using Swiss Ephemeris with Bangalore's exact coordinates (Karnataka, latitude/longitude). Sunrise in Bangalore ranges from 6:00–6:45 AM seasonally, which affects the start of each Tithi. The Panchang shows today's Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana, and planetary positions — all calibrated to Bangalore's local time.
What is today's auspicious Muhurat in Bangalore?
Auspicious muhurtas in Bangalore depend on today's Tithi, Nakshatra, and Choghadiya periods. The Panchang above shows planetary positions and the current Tithi. For specific muhurtas (Vivah, Griha Pravesh, Vyapar, etc.), combine the Panchang data with the Choghadiya calculator — both are available for Bangalore on this site.
Why are Bangalore's Panchang timings different from other cities?
Panchang timings vary because they are based on actual astronomical observations for a specific location. Bangalore's sunrise (6:00–6:45 AM), longitude, and latitude determine the precise start and end times of Tithis, Nakshatras, and Yogas. A Bangalore Panchang uses the city's actual coordinates rather than a single standard Indian time.
When is Ugadi in Bangalore in 2025–2026?
Ugadi dates are determined by the Hindu lunisolar calendar and are the same across India, though local observance customs vary. The Panchang above shows today's Tithi and Nakshatra, which you can use to track approaching festivals. For annual festival calendars, the Ishvaram Jyotish app provides complete Indian festival almanacs with Bangalore-specific timing where relevant.
