Understanding today's Panchang in Howrah
The Panchang (or panchangam) is the traditional Hindu almanac built from five limbs (panch-anga): Tithi, Vaar (weekday), Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana. For Howrah today, the tithi is Navami (Shukla Paksha) and the moon sits in Mula nakshatra. Because tithi and nakshatra depend on the Moon's position relative to the Sun, they shift a little every day and differ slightly by location — which is why these values are computed for Howrah's exact coordinates.
Use the choghadiya table to pick an auspicious slot for travel or new work, and check the Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika periods to avoid. New to the panchang? Read our complete guide to the panchang.
