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.

Bhagsunag Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva and the local Nag Devata, sits about 2 km above McLeodGanj at 6,900 feet and is Dharamsala's principal Hindu shrine, drawing devotees especially during Shravan. Dharamsala is equally renowned as the seat of the Tibetan government-in-exile and the Dalai Lama, and Namgyal Monastery in McLeodGanj gives the town a distinct Tibetan Buddhist character alongside its Hindu heritage. Chamunda Devi temple, an important Shakti shrine, lies 15 to 17 km away in the district. The Bhagsunag annual fair is held each September. Panchang, choghadiya, and rahu kaal timings are computed for Dharamsala's exact coordinates.

Why are Dharamsala's Panchang timings different from other cities?
Panchang timings vary because they are based on actual astronomical observations for a specific location. Dharamsala's sunrise (5:31 AM–7:19 AM), longitude, and latitude determine the precise start and end times of Tithis, Nakshatras, and Yogas. A Dharamsala Panchang uses the city's actual coordinates rather than a single standard Indian time.
