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.
