Sunrise, sunset and Rahu Kaal, so you know when to begin and when to wait.
Guidance you can trust
Every answer is grounded in the Gita's teaching and names the verse it comes from, so you can read the source for yourself.

About the Panchang
Today’s Panchang — aaj ka panchang — is your guide to the quality and timings of the day in the traditional Hindu calendar. For centuries, people have consulted the Panchang before important activities to align with auspicious moments. Gita Guidance brings you a clear, free daily Panchang, calculated for your city so every timing is accurate to where you actually are.
The five elements of the Panchang
The word Panchang means “five limbs” (panch-anga). These are the tithi (lunar day), vara (weekday), nakshatra (the lunar mansion the moon occupies), yoga and karana. Read together, they describe the character of the day — and they shift continuously, which is why the Panchang is checked daily.
Sunrise, sunset and Rahu Kaal
Alongside the five elements, today’s Panchang shows local sunrise and sunset and the day’s Rahu Kaal — a window traditionally avoided for beginning important new work. Because these depend on your location’s exact sunrise and sunset, a city-specific Panchang is far more useful than a generic one.
How people use the Panchang
The Panchang is traditionally used to choose auspicious muhurta for new beginnings — travel, ceremonies, purchases, important conversations — and to be mindful of less favourable windows. Whether you follow it closely or simply like to start the day with awareness of its rhythm, the daily Panchang is a gentle way to stay connected to time-honoured practice.
Timings, perspective and the Gita
The Panchang offers traditional timing guidance, not a guarantee of results. The Bhagavad Gita’s reminder applies here too: align thoughtfully with circumstances, then act with full effort and a steady mind, releasing attachment to the outcome. For deeper questions about a decision or a difficult season, you can always ask Krishna for Gita-rooted guidance.
