Panchanga is the Vedic almanac system using five elements—Tithi, Vara, Nakshatra, Yoga, and Karana—for daily timing and muhurta.
Panchanga literally means 'five limbs,' referring to the five time elements used in Vedic electional astrology. Tithi (lunar day) shows emotional tone, Vara (weekday) shows planetary rulership, Nakshatra (Moon's mansion) shows the Moon's influence, Yoga (Sun-Moon combination) shows overall quality, and Karana (half-Tithi) adds precision. Traditional Panchangas are calculated daily for muhurta (auspicious timing) selection.
TriAstra calculates all five Panchanga elements daily for the Daily Fortune feature, creating a comprehensive Vedic timing score that complements Western transit analysis.
Panchanga provides a complete daily timing framework. When multiple elements are favorable, the day is excellent for important activities; unfavorable combinations suggest waiting.
