Hence 24:00 means 00:00 hours of the next day, panchang is applicable for all location in world”. Many people contact their parents to find 25:00 means 1:00 AM of the next day, and 29:00 means 5:00 AM of the next day. This is the observance dates for Indian Hindu festivals. Some use their favorite panchangam from standard time notation for any Panchangam. The time for Sun’s Sankramana is when Sun india to find an observance date for an Indian festival. In reality observance dates from will enter that rasi or sign on that day. e.g. Makara 4:36 means Sun is entering Makara rasi indian panchangam is valid only in India and is not transferrable to other locations. at 4 hour 36 minute. All other times are the ending times.
What is Indian date – Tithi? Why it is different from an English The season occur based on earth’s position date? Why it is not exactly 24 hours? The Indian date or Tithi is “A lunar day, or the time it around the Sun. This is due to Earth’s tilt of 23.45 degrees. The Earth circles around Sun takes for the longitudinal angle between the Moon and the Sun to increase by 12°. Tithis with this tilt. When the tilt is facing the Sun we get summer and when the tilt is away from begin at varying times of day and vary in duration from approximately 19 to approximately the Sun we get winter. Because of this tilt it seems like the Sun travels north and south of 26 hours”. the equator. The Uttarayana is the Sun appearing to move north. The Dakshinayana is the This definition clearly says an Indian Tithi is based on the following: Sun appearing to move towards South. This causes rise to seasons and dependent on equinoxes and solstices. Daily motions and celestial longitude positions of the Sun and the Moon. Hence it is a celestial event and they begin and end at the same instance all over the world. There is a common misconception that Makara Samkranti is the Uttarayana. This is Because longitudes of the Sun and the Moon isn’t local to one particular country. because at one point in time Sayana and Nirayana Zodiac were same. Every year They happen at the same instance. Longitudes of the Sun and the Moon are equinoxes slides by 50 seconds due to precision of equinoxes, giving birth to Ayanamsha calculated from the center of the Earth. and causing Makara Samkranti to slide further. As a result if you think Makara Samkranti The distance between them is measured in terms of degrees of longitudes and is uttarayana then as it is sliding it will come in June after 9000 years. However Makara maximum degrees in a circle or ellipse is 360 degrees. Samkranti still holds importance in our Rutuals as a Samkranti. All Drika Panchanga Each day is 12 degree distance between the Sun and the Moon. makers will use the position of the tropical Sun to determine Uttarayana and Length of English date is fixed – 24 hours whereas Tithis begin at varying times of Dakshinayana. Hence January 14th isn’t Uttarayana. Actual Uttarayana occurs on day and vary in duration from approximately 19 to 26 hours. This is because the December 21st/22nd of every year. Some people observe uttarayana and daskshinayana elliptical orbit of the earth and the Moon. based on Nirayana positions of sun (although it’s not as per Drik Siddhanta) and we respect that. Tithis can start and end anytime unlike English date that starts and end at The same goes for Rutu. Rutus are always observed based on Tropical position of Sun but some observe based on Lunar month and some on Nirayana Sun. We at mypanchang.com are drika midnight. panchanga and Tropical positions for Ayana and Ritu as per Drika Sidddhanta. Note: We have used The start and end times of Tithis are calculated using astronomical formula (for Dharmasindhu for festival determination and others may use other agamas and hence could be a determining longitude positions of the Sun and the Moon from the center of the differences in dates.

When one Tithi ends the next Tithi starts.
Each festival has a unique rule. These rules are written in 2015 Calendar Acknowledgements Sanskrit as a part of dharmashastra or agama. For example one of the rule for the Karwa Panchangam Data Chauth is: “The Karwa Chauth celebrated on the 4th Tithi of Ashwin Krishna paksha or Festivals & Purnimant Karthik Krishna Paksha when the Tithi exists during the Moon rise”. Another Muhurthas Pandit Mahesh Shastriji rule for Ganesh Chaturthi says: “The Ganesh Chaturthi is observed when the Bhadrapada Calculated by Panchang Ganitha, Panchang Siddhanti Shukla Chaturthi Tithi exists during the madhyahana (noon) time”. Likewise different mypanchang.com rules exist for each festival. The noon, the midnight and other parts of the day cannot be Seattle, WA USA calculated as per fixed clock time. These are based on local sunrise and local sunset. Hence, a festival observance date calculations requires Tithi begin and end times, Daily local Sunrise and sunset timings, Daily Moonrise and Moonset timings – These are always dependent on longitude, latitude, and altitude. Tithi begin and end times are calculated using the center of the earth using universal time and then later converted to Advisors Dr. Ramchandra Joisa, Sistla Somayajulu, local timezone. Rallabhandi Anjaneyulu, Santhosh Kumar Sharma Gollapelli, Parantap Kumar Vyas, Pundit Sandip Shastriji (Indianapolis) Hence the festival dates you see in Indian calendar prepared in India from your local place is calculated based on your local place’s longitude, latitude. Hence it cannot be mypanchang.com used outside of India.
Panchangkartas (people who make panchangas) interpret these rules on the panchangas World’s leading Panchanga Maker they have prepared using the astronomical formulae. Your pundit who performs puja at your home/temple may or may not know these lengthy rules and/or astronomical formulae, or some websites that show day to day panchang.
The Tithi & Nakshatra times indicate a time when the Tithi or Nakshatra ends. The Panchanga uses the Vedic definition of a day, i.e., A day starts with Sunrise and ends with the subsequent Sunrise. Thus, a Tithi with a time of 29:00 indicates that the Tithi ends past midnight but before the next Sunrise at 5:00 AM
