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.

Patna Panchang — पटना पंचांग

State

Bihar

Sunrise Range

5:02–6:41 AM

Coordinates

25.59°N, 85.14°E

Patna, the historic capital of Bihar. Patna Sahib Gurudwara, Mahavir Mandir, and Patna Devi Temple are the city's revered pilgrimage centers. Chhath Puja is Bihar's most sacred festival — its solar worship is deeply connected to sunrise and sunset timings. The Panchanga is integral to Bihari cultural life.

Patna's solar year — sunrise, sunset and day length

In Patna the longest day runs 13h 35m (June) and the shortest 10h 25m (December) — a seasonal swing of 3h 10m. Solar noon falls −10m from the 12:00 clock hour because Patna sits at 85.14°E rather than on the 82.5°E IST meridian. Every Tithi, Nakshatra and Rahu Kaal window on this page is derived from that sunrise, not from a national average.

Which places near Patna can read these Panchang timings

Phulwari Sharif lies 7 km west of Patna and sees sunrise 0m to +1m against it, so the sunrise row of this Panchang moves by that much there. Across every place listed below the shift runs −2m to +2m and each of the eight daylight periods keeps the same length it has here, so the periods do not stretch — only the boundary moves.

Five Elements of Patna Panchang

Nakshatra (नक्षत्र)

Yoga (योग)

Combination of Sun and Moon longitudes. 27 Yogas from Vishkambha to Vaidhriti.

Karana (करण)

Half-Tithi — there are 11 Karanas, cycling through 60 Karanas in a lunar month.

Day of the week, each ruled by a planet (Sun=Sunday through Saturn=Saturday).

Patna Festivals & Panchang

Patna's major festivals — Chhath Puja, Ram Navami, Makar 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 Patna, use the Ishvaram Jyotish app.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is today's Panchang calculated for Patna?

The Panchang for Patna is calculated using Swiss Ephemeris with Patna's exact coordinates (Bihar, latitude/longitude). Sunrise in Patna ranges from 5:02–6:41 AM seasonally, which affects the start of each Tithi. The Panchang shows today's Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana, and planetary positions — all calibrated to Patna's local time.

Can nearby towns like Phulwari Sharif use Patna's Panchang timings?

Almost, with a small shift. Phulwari Sharif lies 7 km west of Patna and sees sunrise 0m to +1m against it, so the sunrise row of this Panchang moves by that much there. Across the recorded places within 150 km of Patna that shift stays between −2m and +2m through the year — the nearby-place table above lists each one. For a town whose shift runs past a few minutes, compute with its own coordinates instead of copying Patna's slot.

Why are Patna's Panchang timings different from other cities?

Panchang timings vary because they are based on actual astronomical observations for a specific location. Patna's sunrise (5:02–6:41 AM), longitude, and latitude determine the precise start and end times of Tithis, Nakshatras, and Yogas. A Patna Panchang uses the city's actual coordinates rather than a single standard Indian time.

When is Chhath Puja in Patna in 2025–2026?

Chhath Puja 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 Patna-specific timing where relevant.
