A Nakshatra is the zodiac Panchangam Data constellation in which the moon is found on the particular day. Nakshatras are in italics. mypanchang.com Festivals & Timings listed in the Calendar: The times listed after a Thithi & Nakshatra are the times at which Muhurthas the Thithi 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 thithi with a time of 29:00 indicates that the thithi ends before the next sunrise. According to the western calendar, this means that the thithi ends at 5:00 AM (29:00 – 24:00) on the next day. Hence 24:00 means 00:00 hours of the next day, 25:00 means 1:00 AM of the next day, 29:00 means 5:00 AM of the next day. This is standard for any panchangam. How to read the panchangam: The time next to the tithi and nakshatra is the time when it is going to end. If tithi or nakshatra ends after midnight but before next sunrise the end-time will have a value greater than 24 hours. To get actual time, please subtract 24 from the time.

Uttarayana / Dakshinayana: The season occurs based on tropical sun (without ayanamsha). This is Calender Design Monica Monasterio, due to earth’s tilt of 23.45 degrees. The earth circles around sun with this tilt. When the tilt is facing the Vikas Pulpa, Payal Goorha, Rama Srinivasan, Sun we get summer and when the tilt is away from the Sun we get winter.
