About this Panchang (2026-05-15)

This page shows the Hindu Panchang for Friday, May 15, 2026 (2026-05-15): Trayodashi Tithi, Ashwini Nakshatra, Ayushman Yoga, Vanija Karana, and Friday Vara — computed with Swiss Ephemeris and Lahiri Ayanamsa.

Panchang (meaning "five limbs") is the Vedic Hindu calendar that tracks five key elements of each day: Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (lunar mansion), Yoga (Sun-Moon angle), Karana (half-tithi), and Vara (weekday).

These five elements together determine the auspiciousness of any given moment. Vedic astrologers use the Panchang to identify the best times for important activities like marriages, business ventures, travel, and spiritual practices (muhurta).

The Panchang is calculated based on the precise positions of the Sun and Moon using the Swiss Ephemeris with Lahiri Ayanamsa, ensuring accuracy for sidereal Vedic calculations.
