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.

Bodh Gaya, the holiest site in Buddhism, is where Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree. The Mahabodhi Temple (UNESCO World Heritage Site) marks the exact spot. For Hindu pilgrims, the nearby Vishnupad Temple (Lord Vishnu's footprint) and the Falgu River are sites for Pitru Tarpan (ancestor rites). Every auspicious day on the Panchanga draws lakhs of pilgrims for ritual bathing and ancestral offerings.

Bodh GayaFestivals & Panchang
Bodh Gaya's major festivals — Buddha Purnima, Pitru Paksha, Chhath Puja— 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 Bodh Gaya, use the Ishvaram Jyotish app.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is today's Panchang calculated for Bodh Gaya?
The Panchang for Bodh Gaya is calculated using Swiss Ephemeris with Bodh Gaya's exact coordinates (Bihar, latitude/longitude). Sunrise in Bodh Gaya ranges from 5:05–6:35 AM seasonally, which affects the start of each Tithi. The Panchang shows today's Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana, and planetary positions — all calibrated to Bodh Gaya's local time.
What is today's auspicious Muhurat in Bodh Gaya?
Auspicious muhurtas in Bodh Gaya 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 Bodh Gaya on this site.
Why are Bodh Gaya's Panchang timings different from other cities?
Panchang timings vary because they are based on actual astronomical observations for a specific location. Bodh Gaya's sunrise (5:05–6:35 AM), longitude, and latitude determine the precise start and end times of Tithis, Nakshatras, and Yogas. A Bodh Gaya Panchang uses the city's actual coordinates rather than a single standard Indian time.
When is Buddha Purnima in Bodh Gaya in 2025–2026?
Buddha Purnima 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 Bodh Gaya-specific timing where relevant.
