Panchang in Cardiff

Longitude and latitude for Cardiff are fixed on this page (51.48°N, 3.18°W) so Panchang does not drift to a neighbouring district.

Cardiff sits about 12 minutes of mean solar time west of London, so the sun's clock time here is typically later on British Summer Time (GMT+1).

What is Panchang?

Panchang means five limbs: Tithi (the lunar day, from the angle between Sun and Moon), Vara (the weekday), Nakshatra (the Moon’s mansion among 27), Yoga (a combined solar-lunar angle), and Karana (half of a Tithi). The names of the day are those limbs at local sunrise. Sunrise, moonrise, and the electional windows all belong to the place you enter, which is why a Panchang changes from city to city.
