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.

The capital of Gujarat is home to Swaminarayan Akshardham, one of India's most celebrated temple complexes, a 23-acre masterpiece built from 6,000 tonnes of pink Rajasthani sandstone, inaugurated in 1992, with over two hundred sacred murtis and no steel in its construction. Gandhinagar's Navratri celebrations draw devotees from across the state to traditional Garba gatherings, while Uttarayan fills the skies with kites each January. The 15th-century Adalaj Stepwell, 18 km away in Adalaj village, is a heritage landmark of Hindu-era craftsmanship. Panchang, choghadiya, and rahu kaal timings are computed for Gandhinagar's exact coordinates.

Gandhinagar Festivals & Panchang
Gandhinagar's major festivals — Navratri (Garba), Uttarayan (Makar Sankranti), Diwali— 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 Gandhinagar, use the Ishvaram Jyotish app.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is today's Panchang calculated for Gandhinagar?
The Panchang for Gandhinagar is calculated using Swiss Ephemeris with Gandhinagar's exact coordinates (Gujarat, latitude/longitude). Sunrise in Gandhinagar ranges from 6:00 AM–7:18 AM seasonally, which affects the start of each Tithi. The Panchang shows today's Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana, and planetary positions — all calibrated to Gandhinagar's local time.
What is today's auspicious Muhurat in Gandhinagar?
Auspicious muhurtas in Gandhinagar 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 Gandhinagar on this site.
Why are Gandhinagar's Panchang timings different from other cities?
Panchang timings vary because they are based on actual astronomical observations for a specific location. Gandhinagar's sunrise (6:00 AM–7:18 AM), longitude, and latitude determine the precise start and end times of Tithis, Nakshatras, and Yogas. A Gandhinagar Panchang uses the city's actual coordinates rather than a single standard Indian time.
When is Navratri (Garba) in Gandhinagar in 2025–2026?
Navratri (Garba) 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 Gandhinagar-specific timing where relevant.
