Data Usage
Terms for using Inner Light calculated panchang, choghadiya, and almanac timings: personal reference is fine; scraping, republishing, and commercial reuse are restricted.
Last updated: 28 September 2026
This page describes the terms under which calculated timing and almanac data on Inner Light (inner-light.live), operated by Inner Light, may be used. It applies to city panchang and choghadiya pages and other calculator results that present computed astronomical or traditional timing tables.
Personal reference use
Calculated data on this site — including tithi, nakshatra, sunrise and sunset, choghadiya windows, and related muhurta tables — is provided for personal reference, educational, and informational use. You may view it, bookmark a specific dated result, and use it to plan your own day.
Calculated on request
Values shown for a place and date are computed when you (or our page generation) request them, using astronomical libraries and traditional calendrical rules. They are not a separately published open dataset, API feed, or downloadable bulk dump.
Not for redistribution or scraping
You may not scrape, bulk-download, mirror, republish, or commercially redistribute substantial volumes of calculated results from this site, or present them as your own dataset, without prior written permission from us.
Automated access that places excessive load on our servers is also prohibited under our Terms of Service.
Traditional knowledge vs. our presentation
Astrological and calendrical concepts themselves are traditional knowledge and are not claimed as our exclusive IP. The site's design, written explanations, and the particular presentation of calculated results are owned by us or used under appropriate license.
Related terms
Use of the site generally remains subject to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. If this page and those documents conflict on a point about data reuse, this Data Usage page controls for calculated almanac and timing tables.
Search engine notifications (IndexNow)
When pages are created or meaningfully updated, Inner Light may notify participating search engines through IndexNow. IndexNow currently notifies Bing and Yandex only — not Google. Google discovers and re-crawls this site through its own sitemap and crawling processes.
Place name data (GeoNames)
City and place suggestions on Inner Light may use a local index derived from GeoNames populated-place dumps (cities5000 or cities15000, depending on file size). GeoNames data is provided under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. Attribution: GeoNames (https://www.geonames.org/). When fewer local matches are available, we may also query our location search API for additional candidates, with a short timeout so typing is never blocked.
