Hindu Panchangam by mypanchang.com based on Denver CO, Longitude Latitude
वशिष्ठ॥ यशमिन ्पके्ष यत्र काले येन दृग्गशितैक्यि।् दृश्यते तेन पके्षि कुयााशिथ्याशिशनिायि॥्
भामकराचाया॥ यात्राशववाहोत्सवजातकािौ खेटैैः मफुटैरेवफलमफुटत्वि।् मयात्रोच्यते तेन नभश्चरािाां मफुटशिया दृग्गशितैक्यकृद्या॥
Do you believe that Indian Hindu festivals observance date in the Indian
calendar/panchang is applicable for all location in world? If yes, you are incorrect. Many people contact their parents to find the observance dates for Indian Hindu festivals. The parents consult their local panchangam /calendar to find an observance date for an Indian festival. However, that observance date is only good for observing in India and is not transferrable to other locations.
There is a misconception that an Indian Hindu Tithi, Hindu date, begins at midnight and ends at midnight. Some internet sites also write festival explanation which confuse people. For example, the most common falsely is “such and such festival is observed on such and such night counted from purnima or amavasya”. Another example many people say, “Pundit ji, ‘Karwa Chauth is celebrated on the 4th night after purnima’”, or “The Janmasthami is celebrated on the 8th night after purnima”. These are wrong statements. The confusion arises because Indian date, Tithi, is incorrectly considered fixed with 24 hours length and begins at midnight and ends at midnight. The above statements are correctly written in the dharma shastra or agama as “Karwa Chauth is celebrated on the 4th Tithi of Ashwin Krishna paksha or Purnimant Karthik Krishna Paksha when the Tithi exists during the Moon rise”. The same way the rule for Janmasthami is written such as “Janmasthami is to be observed when the Shravana Krishna asthami Tithi (or Purnimant Bhadrapada Krishna Asthami Tithi) exists during the midnight hours.” The assumption may be that midnight means 12:00 hours during the night. That is wrong. This is not the midnight. Why? What is the definition of the midnight? “Mid means middle which is half and the midnight means half of the night”. Do you think the night starts at 6 PM (Which means the Sun always sets at 6 PM)? Do you also think the morning starts at 6 AM (Which also means the Sun always rises at 6 AM)? The answer is no. The Sun will not rise every day at 6AM and will not set every day at 6 PM. If you live in North America or countries close to the North pole or the south pole the Sun will rise as early as 4 AM and set at around 9 PM during summer, during winter the Sun will rise as late as 8:30 to 9 AM and set as early as 3:30 PM. According to the math, noon = (sunset-sunrise)/2 and midnight = (next-day-sunrise – previous-day-sunset)/2 will never be 12 hours during night.
Another misconception is people think that days – Sunday, Monday etc change at midnight as per Indian Calendar too. This is also incorrect assumption. The day – Sunday, Monday etc change at sunrise not midnight. Hence for all festival observance dates calculation the day taken is from one Sunrise to another sunrise.
What is Indian date – Tithi? Why it is different from an English date? Why it is
not exactly 24 hours? The Indian date or Tithi is “A lunar day, or the time it takes for the longitudinal angle between the Moon and the Sun to increase by 12°. Tithis begin at varying times of day and vary in duration from approximately 19 to approximately 26 hours”.This definition clearly says an Indian Tithi is based on the following:
Daily motions and celestial longitude positions of the Sun and the Moon. Hence it is a celestial event and they begin and end at the same instance all over the world. Because longitudes of the Sun and the Moon isn’t local to one particular country. They happen at the same instance. Longitudes of the Sun and the Moon are calculated from the center of the Earth.
The distance between them is measured in terms of degrees of longitudes and maximum degrees in a circle or ellipse is 360 degrees.
Each day is 12 degree distance between the Sun and the Moon.
Length of English date is fixed – 24 hours whereas Tithis begin at varying times of day and vary in duration from approximately 19 to 26 hours. This is because the elliptical orbit of the earth and the Moon.
Tithis can start and end anytime unlike English date that starts and end at midnight.
The start and end times of Tithis are calculated using astronomical formula (for determining longitude positions of the Sun and the Moon from the center of the earth). These times are usually as per UTC (Universal Time Coordinated – aka GMT). They end at the same instance all over the world.
Time difference to your country is applied to arrive at Tithi start ending times as per your country. Time mentioned in indian panchang is as per IST. You need to convert it to your timezone the way you would convert time to your timezone and then apply local sunrise etc.
When one Tithi ends the next Tithi starts.
This clearly explains indian date can change at any time. The time mentioned next to Tithi is the ending time of the Tithi. When the one Tithi ends the next one starts right away.
Example if in India the Amavasya ends at 18:19:56 on Nov 3rd 2013. It will not end in New York on Nov 3rd 2013 at 18:19:56 but it will end in New York at 7:49:56 AM, In California at 4:49:56 AM on Nov 3rd 2013. (We have subtracted the timezone difference. USA is in the east of India hence time zone needs to be subtracted for countries east of India the timezone difference from Indian time needs to be added). Likewise if you have an Indian panchang with you this is how you can calculate Tithi times for your place.
Each festival has a unique rule. These rules are established by great
rishis like Vashistha, Vishwamitra and many others. These rules are written in Sanskrit as a part of dharmashastra or agama. For example one of the rule for the Karwa Chauth is: “The Karwa Chauth celebrated on the 4th Tithi of Ashwin Krishna paksha or Purnimant Karthik Krishna Paksha when the Tithi exists during the Moon rise”. Another rule for Ganesh Chaturthi says: “The Ganesh Chaturthi is observed when the Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi Tithi exists during the madhyahana (noon) time”. Likewise different rules exist for each festival. As explained earlier, the noon, the midnight and other parts of the day cannot be calculated as per fixed clock time. These are based on local sunrise and local sunset. Hence to determine festival observance date we will need:
Tithi begin and end times.
Daily local Sunrise and sunset timings.
Daily Moonrise and Moonset timings.
Please note that although Tithi begin and end times are calculated using the center of the earth and GMT time the other factor for deciding festival observance dates are the Sun and the Moon rise and set timings. These are always dependent on local latitude, longitude, and the elevation. Hence the festival dates you see in Indian calendar prepared in India from your local place is calculated based on your local place’s longitude, latitude. Hence it cannot be used outside of India. Panchangkartas (people who make panchangas) interpret these rules on the panchangas they have prepared using the astronomical formulae. Your pundit who performs puja at your home/temple
may or may not know these lengthy rules and/or astronomical formulae, or some websites that show day to day panchang.
Per dharmashastras and agamas mahalakshmi
comes to everyone’s home during pradosha kala – That is sunset + 144 minutes. The Lakshmi puja is done when sthira lagna (fixed rasi) prevails during this time. Fixed rasis will keep Lakshmi in home. They are Vrishabha, Simha, Vrischika, & Kumbha. However during Diwali time in pradosha kala due to earth and sun’s position mostly there is Vrishabha lagna during that time.
For example,
In Indian Panchangam on November 3rd 2013 Amavasya ends at 18:19:56.
After subtracting the timezone difference of 5:30 minutes The Amavasya will end in UK at 12:49:56
In New York it will end at 7:49:56 AM on November 3rd. (subtracting 10:30 hours TZ)
In California it will end at 4:49:56 AM on November 3rd 2013 (subtracting 13:30 hours TZ).
Per the above timings we know that the amavasya prevail during the pradosha on November 2nd 2013 (in USA) but not on November 3rd 2013 in USA.
This is no different than a child born in India at 18:19:56 on November 3rd 2013 at that time in New York it will be 7:49:56AM on November 3rd, in Seattle it will be 4:49:56 AM on November 3rd 2013.
If you celebrate diwali on November 3rd in USA as per these calculations then mahalakshmi won't be coming to people's house as the auspicious muhurtha for lakshmi mata was on a day when amavasya Tithi prevails during pradosha kala (sunset + 144 minutes). As per calculations explained before it is proved that amavasya doesn’t prevail during sunset times of November 3rd 2013 in USA. I know personally many temples in the United States observed Diwali on November 3rd 2013. This is completely wrong. Amavasya has ended already before sunrise in most places in the United States. Hence Diwali cannot be celebrated on November 3rd 2013. The same calculations are done for other places, other countries.
If the earth was FLAT then the Sun and the Moon will rise at the same time all over the world, and we’ll not have time zones and then the dates from Indian calendar from your place can be applied to anywhere in the world. So next times when you follow your favorite Indian Calendar outside India tell yourself, “Only if the earth is FLAT this is useful for me”.
The Tithi & Nakshatra times indicate a time when the Tithi or
Nakshatra ends. The Panchanga uses the Vedic definition of a day, i.e., A day starts with Sunrise and ends with the subsequent Sunrise. Thus, a Tithi with a time of 29:00 indicates that the Tithi ends past midnight but before the next Sunrise at 5:00 AM (29:00 – 24:00) on the next calendar day. Hence 24:00 means 00:00 hours of the next day, 25:00 means 1:00 AM of the next day, and 29:00 means 5:00 AM of the next day. This is standard time notation for any Panchangam. The time for Sun’s samkramana is when Sun will enter that rasi or sign on that day. e.g. Makara 4:36 means Sun is entering Makara rasi at 4 hour 36 minute. All other times are the ending times.
A lunar month consists of 30 Tithis and each Tithi then corresponds to the time taken
by the Moon to move 12 degrees with respect to the Sun. Krishna Paksha Tithis are in the darker color and Shukla Paksha Tithis are mentioned in the red color.
A solar month begins when the Sun leaves one rasi and moves into the next. The solar
month names are based on 12 signs. This system is widely used in Tamilnadu, Kerala, West Bengal, Orrisa, Punjab and Assam.
The path of the moon around earth is divided into 27 segments or Nakshatras. A
nakshatra changes when the moon leaves one of these 27 segments and enters the next. Nakshatras are in italics.
The season occur based on earth’s position around the Sun. This is due
to Earth’s tilt of 23.45 degrees. The Earth circles around Sun with this tilt. When the tilt is facing the Sun we get summer and when the tilt is away from the Sun we get winter. Because of this tilt it seems like the Sun travels north and south of the equator. The Uttarayana is the Sun appearing to move north. The Dakshinayana is the Sun appearing to move towards South. This causes rise to seasons and dependent on equinoxes and solstices.
There is a common misconception that Makar Samkranti is the Uttarayana. This is because at one point in time Sayana and Nirayana Zodiac were same. Every year equinoxes slides by 50 seconds due to precision of equinoxes, giving birth to Ayanamsha and causing Makar Samkranti to slide further. As a result if you think Makar Samkranti is uttarayana then as it is sliding it will come in June after 9000 years. However Makar Samkranti still holds importance in our rituals as a Samkranti. All Drika Panchanga makers will use the position of the tropical Sun to determine Uttarayana and Dakshinayana. Hence January 14th isn’t Uttarayana. Actual Uttarayana occurs on December 21st/22nd of every year.

Biggest misconception is “Indian Hindu festivals observance date in the Indian calendar / panchang is applicable for all location in world”. Many people contact their parents to find the observance dates for Indian Hindu festivals. Some use their favorite panchangam from india to find an observance date for an Indian festival. In reality observance dates from indian panchangam is valid only in India and is not transferrable to other locations.
What is Indian date – Tithi? Why it is different from an English date? Why it is not exactly 24 hours? The Indian date or Tithi is “A lunar day, or the time it takes for the longitudinal angle between the Moon and the Sun to increase by 12°. Tithis begin at varying times of day and vary in duration from approximately 19 to approximately 26 hours”.This definition clearly says an Indian Tithi is based on the following: Daily motions and celestial longitude positions of the Sun and the Moon. Hence it is a celestial
event and they begin and end at the same instance all over the world. Because longitudes of the Sun and the Moon isn’t local to one particular country. They happen at the same instance. Longitudes of the Sun and the Moon are calculated from the center of the Earth.
The distance between them is measured in terms of degrees of longitudes and maximum degrees in a circle or ellipse is 360 degrees.
Each day is 12 degree distance between the Sun and the Moon. Length of English date is fixed – 24 hours whereas Tithis begin at varying times of day
and vary in duration from approximately 19 to 26 hours. This is because the elliptical orbit of the earth and the Moon.
Tithis can start and end anytime unlike English date that starts and end at midnight. The start and end times of Tithis are calculated using astronomical formula (for
determining longitude positions of the Sun and the Moon from the center of the earth). These times are usually as per UTC (Universal Time Coordinated – aka GMT).
Time difference to your country is applied to arrive at Tithi start ending times as per your country.
When one Tithi ends the next Tithi starts.
Each festival has a unique rule. These rules are written in Sanskrit as a part of dharmashastra or agama. For example one of the rule for the Karwa Chauth is: “The Karwa Chauth celebrated on the 4th Tithi of Ashwin Krishna paksha or Purnimant Karthik Krishna Paksha when the Tithi exists during the Moon rise”. Another rule for Ganesh Chaturthi says: “The Ganesh Chaturthi is observed when the Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi Tithi exists during the madhyahana (noon) time”. Likewise different rules exist for each festival. The noon, the midnight and other parts of the day cannot be calculated as per fixed clock time. These are based on local sunrise and local sunset. Hence, a festival observance date calculations requires Tithi begin and end times, Daily local Sunrise and sunset timings, Daily Moonrise and Moonset timings – These are always dependent on longitude, latitude, and altitude. Tithi begin and end times are calculated using the center of the earth using universal time and then later converted to local timezone.
Hence the festival dates you see in Indian calendar prepared in India from your local place is calculated based on your local place’s longitude, latitude. Hence it cannot be used outside of India.
Panchangkartas (people who make panchangas) interpret these rules on the panchangas they have prepared using the astronomical formulae. Your pundit who performs puja at your home/temple may or may not know these lengthy rules and/or astronomical formulae, or some websites that show day to day panchang.
The Tithi & Nakshatra times indicate a time when the Tithi or Nakshatra ends. The Panchanga uses the Vedic definition of a day, i.e., A day starts with Sunrise and ends with the subsequent Sunrise. Thus, a Tithi with a time of 29:00 indicates that the Tithi ends past midnight but before the next Sunrise at 5:00 AM (29:00 – 24:00) on the next calendar day. Hence 24:00 means 00:00 hours of the next day, 25:00 means 1:00 AM of the next day, and 29:00 means 5:00 AM of the next day. This is standard time notation for any Panchangam. The time for Sun’s Sankramana is when Sun will enter that rasi or sign on that day. e.g. Makara 4:36 means Sun is entering Makara rasi at 4 hour 36 minute. All other times are the ending times.
The season occur based on earth’s position around the Sun. This is due to Earth’s tilt of 23.45 degrees. The Earth circles around Sun with this tilt. When the tilt is facing the Sun we get summer and when the tilt is away from the Sun we get winter. Because of this tilt it seems like the Sun travels north and south of the equator. The Uttarayana is the Sun appearing to move north. The Dakshinayana is the Sun appearing to move towards South. This causes rise to seasons and dependent on equinoxes and solstices.
There is a common misconception that Makara Samkranti is the Uttarayana. This is because at one point in time Sayana and Nirayana Zodiac were same. Every year equinoxes slides by 50 seconds due to precision of equinoxes, giving birth to Ayanamsha and causing Makara Samkranti to slide further. As a result if you think Makara Samkranti is uttarayana then as it is sliding it will come in June after 9000 years. However Makara Samkranti still holds importance in our Rutuals as a Samkranti. All Drika Panchanga makers will use the position of the tropical Sun to determine Uttarayana and Dakshinayana. Hence January 14th isn’t Uttarayana. Actual Uttarayana occurs on December 21st/22nd of every year. Some people observe uttarayana and daskshinayana based on Nirayana positions of sun (although it’s not as per Drik Siddhanta) and we respect that. The same goes for Rutu. Rutus are always observed based on Tropical position of Sun but some observe based on Lunar month and some on Nirayana Sun. We at mypanchang.com are drika panchanga and Tropical positions for Ayana and Ritu as per Drika Sidddhanta. Note: We have used Dharmasindhu for festival determination and others may use other agamas and hence could be a differences in dates.
