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.

Five Elements of Somnath Panchang

Nakshatra (नक्षत्र)

Somnath Festivals & Panchang
Somnath's major festivals — Mahashivaratri, Kartik Purnima, Navratri— 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 Somnath, use the Ishvaram Jyotish app.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is today's Panchang calculated for Somnath?
The Panchang for Somnath is calculated using Swiss Ephemeris with Somnath's exact coordinates (Gujarat, latitude/longitude). Sunrise in Somnath ranges from 6:15–7:30 AM seasonally, which affects the start of each Tithi. The Panchang shows today's Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana, and planetary positions — all calibrated to Somnath's local time.
What is today's auspicious Muhurat in Somnath?
Auspicious muhurtas in Somnath 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 Somnath on this site.
Why are Somnath's Panchang timings different from other cities?
Panchang timings vary because they are based on actual astronomical observations for a specific location. Somnath's sunrise (6:15–7:30 AM), longitude, and latitude determine the precise start and end times of Tithis, Nakshatras, and Yogas. A Somnath Panchang uses the city's actual coordinates rather than a single standard Indian time.
When is Mahashivaratri in Somnath in 2025–2026?
Mahashivaratri 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 Somnath-specific timing where relevant.
