पंचांग क्या है? (What is Panchang?)
पंचांग (Panchang) is the traditional Hindu almanac and one of the most important tools in Vedic astrology. The word comes from Sanskrit: pancha (five) + anga (limbs). It describes five key astronomical elements for any given day and location.
For Toronto (Ontario, Canada), the panchang is calculated using the city's precise coordinates (43.65°N, 79.38°W) and shown in local Toronto time (EDT), so sunrise, sunset, and planetary transition times are accurate for your location.
Toronto Panchang — अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न
What is today's Tithi in Toronto?
At sunrise in Toronto today (October 16, 2026), the Tithi is षष्ठी (शुक्ल Paksha, Tithi 6). Tithi is the lunar day in the Hindu calendar, defined by each 12° of separation between the Moon and the Sun, so it does not change at midnight.
What is today's Nakshatra in Toronto?
At sunrise in Toronto today the Moon is in Mula (मूल) Nakshatra, pada 2, ruled by Ketu. Mula lasts until 12:18 AM (Oct 17) EDT, after which the Moon enters Purva Ashadha (पूर्वाषाढ़ा).
What is Rahukaal in Toronto today?
Rahukaal in Toronto today (Friday) is from 11:40 AM – 1:02 PM EDT. Rahukaal is one-eighth of the daytime between sunrise (7:33 AM) and sunset (6:32 PM) in Toronto; which eighth it is depends on the weekday, so the exact time shifts each day with sunrise and sunset and differs from city to city. Yamaganda today is 3:47 PM – 5:09 PM and Gulika Kaal is 8:55 AM – 10:17 AM. Many people prefer not to start important new tasks during Rahukaal.
What time is sunrise in Toronto today?
Sunrise in Toronto today is at 7:33 AM EDT and sunset is at 6:32 PM EDT.
What are the five elements of Panchang?
Panchang (पंचांग) means 'five limbs' in Sanskrit. The five elements are: 1) Tithi (lunar day), 2) Vara (day of the week), 3) Nakshatra (lunar mansion), 4) Yoga (luni-solar combination), and 5) Karana (half-tithi). Together these five elements describe the astrological quality of any given moment.
What is Nakshatra in Panchang?
Nakshatra is the lunar mansion — the constellation the Moon occupies on a given day. There are 27 Nakshatras dividing the zodiac into equal 13°20' segments. The Nakshatra at birth determines the Vimshottari Dasha (planetary period) starting point. In daily panchang, it indicates the quality of the day for specific activities.
What is Yoga in Panchang?
Panchang Yoga (not to be confused with planetary yoga) is calculated by adding the longitudes of the Sun and Moon and dividing by 13°20'. There are 27 Yogas ranging from auspicious (Shubha, Siddha, Brahma) to inauspicious (Vishkambha, Parigha, Vajra). They indicate the general quality and success-potential of the day.
What is Karana in Panchang?
Karana is half a Tithi — there are 11 Karanas (4 fixed + 7 repeating) cycling through the lunar month. Each Karana spans approximately 6° of the angular Moon-Sun difference. Karanas influence the success of activities started in that period; for example, Bava Karana is good for long-term work, and Balava is good for new ventures.
Why does Toronto Panchang differ from other city panchangs?
Panchang times vary by city because Sunrise, Sunset, and exact Tithi/Nakshatra transition times depend on the geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude). Toronto is located at 43.65°N, 79.38°W in Ontario, Canada. Cities at different longitudes observe slightly different transition times for the same panchang elements.
Are these Panchang times for Toronto in IST or local time?
All times on this page are local Toronto time (EDT, America/Toronto timezone), not Indian Standard Time. Sunrise, sunset and Rahu Kaal are calculated from Toronto's own sunrise and sunset, and daylight-saving changes are applied automatically.
Why can the Tithi or a festival date in Toronto differ from India?
The Tithi of a day is the one running at local sunrise. Sunrise in Toronto happens at a different moment than in India, so on some days the Tithi at sunrise (and therefore the date of an Ekadashi, Purnima or festival) in Toronto is one day earlier or later than in an Indian calendar. Always use a Panchang calculated for your own city.
