What is Panchangam ?

A panchangam (Sanskrit pañcāṅgam ) is a Hindu astrological almanac, which follows traditional Indian cosmology, and presents important astronomical data in tabulated form.

Panchangam in Sanskrit means '5 elements" of a day. They are:

Tithi - Ending Moment (EM) of elongation of the Moon, the lunar day , the angular relationship between Sun and Moon ( True Moon minus True Sun). One Tithi equals 12 degree difference between Moon and Sun.

Nakshatra - EM of asterism of the day, that is, the stellar mansion in which Moon is located for an observer on Earth. One Nakshatra equals 13 degrees:20 minutes. There are 27 Nakshatra in 360 degrees.

Yoga - EM of the angular relationship between Sun and Moon( True Moon plus True Sun). One Yoga equals 13 degrees:20 minutes. There are 27 Yogas in 360 degrees.

Karana - EM of half of a Tithi. One Karaṇa equals 6 degree difference between Moon and Sun.
