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.

Thanjavur's Brihadeeswarar temple, built by Chola emperor Rajaraja I between 1003 and 1010 CE and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Great Living Chola Temples, is one of the largest Shiva temples ever constructed, its 216-foot vimana dominating the city skyline. The ten-day Natyanjali classical dance festival, held each February around Maha Shivaratri, draws artists from across India to perform at the temple. The city also observes Aani Thirumanjanam, Arudra Darshanam, and Panguni Uthiram. Panchang, choghadiya, and rahu kaal timings are computed for Thanjavur's exact coordinates, on the Cauvery delta.

Frequently Asked Questions

For specific muhurtas (Vivah, Griha Pravesh, Vyapar, etc.), combine the Panchang data with the Choghadiya calculator — both are available for Thanjavur on this site.
Why are Thanjavur's Panchang timings different from other cities?
Panchang timings vary because they are based on actual astronomical observations for a specific location. Thanjavur's sunrise (5:55 AM–6:31 AM), longitude, and latitude determine the precise start and end times of Tithis, Nakshatras, and Yogas. A Thanjavur Panchang uses the city's actual coordinates rather than a single standard Indian time.

Natyanjali Dance Festival 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 Thanjavur-specific timing where relevant.
