This page computes a Vedic panchang for a date and place you choose. It is not a fixed “today’s panchang” article: the values change with the calendar date and the location you submit.

## What you need

A calendar date and a place (selected from the place search). Birth time is not required. The calculator uses Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30) as the reference timezone; start and end times are shown in Asia/Kolkata.

## What you get

On-screen panchang for that query: weekday, tithi (lunar day, with type and number), nakshatra (lunar mansion, with lord when provided), yoga, and karana, each with start and end times when the engine returns them. The result also shows Rahu Kaal, Gulika, and Yamakanta windows, plus rāśi and ayanamsa names when present. Nothing on this page is a prediction of events.

## Method

The form posts date and place to `/api/panchang`. The server resolves coordinates for the place and requests panchang from the astro-engine GraphQL panchang endpoint. Ayanamsa is whatever that engine returns for the query (shown by name on the result).
