The tithi and nakshatra shown are those at local sunrise on the selected date. They can change during the day; their end times mark the next transition.
Sunrise and sunset depend on your location. Tithi transitions occur at the same instant worldwide, but their local clock times differ. The tithi present at sunrise can therefore differ between places.
Tithi — the lunar day
Each 12° interval of the Moon’s angular separation from the Sun is one tithi. A tithi can start or end at any hour; it is not a fixed 24-hour day.
Nakshatra — the Moon’s position
The sidereal zodiac is divided into 27 equal sections. The section containing the Moon at sunrise gives the nakshatra shown here.
Calculation method
Sun and Moon positions are calculated with Swiss Ephemeris. Rashi and nakshatra use the sidereal zodiac with Lahiri ayanamsa, the adjustment between tropical and sidereal positions.
Astronomy and traditional guidance
Celestial positions and rise/set times come from astronomical calculations. Rahu Kaal and auspicious muhurat labels apply traditional Jyotish rules to those timings; they are not scientific predictions of personal outcomes.
Timing limitations
If the sunrise or sunset calculation is unavailable, approximate times may be used. This result does not identify whether that fallback was used. A missing Moon time means the time is unavailable, not proof that the Moon does not rise or set that day.

Was today's Panchang accurate?
A Panchang for Ratlam is the day's Hindu almanac computed from the city's own sunrise, sunset and coordinates, never one standard clock. It reads five angas together — Tithi, Vara, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana — to describe the day's quality and choose supportive timings for puja, vrat and new beginnings.

Ratlam's solar year — sunrise, sunset and day length
In Ratlam the longest day runs 13h 26m (June) and the shortest 10h 35m (December) — a seasonal swing of 2h 51m. Solar noon falls +30m from the 12:00 clock hour because Ratlam sits at 75.04°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 Ratlam can read these Panchang timings

Ratlam Festivals & Panchang
Ratlam's major festivals — — 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 Ratlam, use the Ishvaram Jyotish app.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is today's Panchang calculated for Ratlam?
The Panchang for Ratlam is calculated using Swiss Ephemeris with Ratlam's exact coordinates (Madhya Pradesh, latitude/longitude). Sunrise in Ratlam ranges from 5:47–7:18 AM seasonally, which affects the start of each Tithi. The Panchang shows today's Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana, and planetary positions — all calibrated to Ratlam's local time.
Can nearby towns like Khachrod use Ratlam's Panchang timings?
Almost, with a small shift. Khachrod lies 27 km east of Ratlam and sees sunrise −2m to 0m against it, so the sunrise row of this Panchang moves by that much there. Across the recorded places within 150 km of Ratlam that shift stays between −5m and +5m 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 Ratlam's slot.
Why are Ratlam's Panchang timings different from other cities?
Panchang timings vary because they are based on actual astronomical observations for a specific location. Ratlam's sunrise (5:47–7:18 AM), longitude, and latitude determine the precise start and end times of Tithis, Nakshatras, and Yogas. A Ratlam Panchang uses the city's actual coordinates rather than a single standard Indian time.
When is undefined in Ratlam in 2025–2026?
undefined 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 Ratlam-specific timing where relevant.
