Today's Panchangam for Mississauga, Ontario, Canada (America/Toronto) is computed at local sunrise (06:22) and sunset (20:27). Tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, and vara in the table above reflect the sky at dawn in Mississauga - not a national average - so they may differ from another city in Canada on the same calendar date. At this latitude, longer summer days and shorter winter ones move sunrise noticeably. Because the daily Panchangam is read at local dawn, the tithi or nakshatra in effect at sunrise can differ from a city at another latitude or longitude.

What is Panchangam?

Panchangam (also written panchang, panchanga, or Hindu calendar) is the daily almanac used across India and the diaspora to align activities with traditional time. The word means five limbs - pancha (five) and anga (part). A complete Panchangam lists more than these five elements, but the core panchanga at sunrise is what most household calendars and apps show first. The table above gives that daily snapshot so you can see what the Vedic day looks like at dawn in your city without opening a printed sheet.

The five limbs of Panchanga

Each limb describes a different layer of the sky at a reference moment - usually local sunrise for civil Panchangam use. Together they tell you where the Moon and Sun sit in the lunar cycle and how traditional astrologers would characterise the day.

Tithi (lunar day)

Tithi tracks the angular distance between the Sun and Moon, divided into thirty phases from new moon to full moon and back. It is the limb most people notice first because festivals, fasts, and many muhurta rules refer to tithi by name - Ekadashi, Purnima, Amavasya, and so on.

Nakshatra (lunar mansion)

The Moon's nightly position among twenty-seven nakshatra is used for naming, compatibility, and electional astrology. Each nakshatra spans thirteen degrees twenty minutes of the ecliptic. The value shown is the nakshatra in effect at sunrise unless your tradition uses a different reference point.

Yoga

Yoga combines the longitudes of the Sun and Moon into one of twenty-seven composite indices. It is a finer synchronisation measure - less visible in everyday conversation than tithi, but still part of a full Panchangam printout.

Karana

Karana is half of a tithi - sixty karanas repeat across the lunar month. It refines timing for specialists; on a daily page it completes the classical five-limb set at sunrise.

Vara (weekday)

Vara is simply the day of the week, but in Jyotish each weekday belongs to a planet - Sunday to the Sun, Monday to the Moon, and so on. That planetary ruler also links the Panchangam to hora order, Rahu Kala segment choice, and other daily timing tools.

How Panchangam is calculated for your city

Traditional Panchangam is anchored to local sunrise because the Vedic day begins at dawn, not at midnight. Timings here use Swiss Ephemeris with Lahiri ayanamsa - the sidereal convention common in South Indian and many North Indian panchangams - and your city's coordinates for sunrise and sunset. When you change city or date above, tithi and nakshatra update to reflect the sky at that place; they are not national averages.

Panchangam and other daily timing tools

Panchangam tells you what the day is; it does not by itself label every hour good or bad. For that, people turn to Subha Hora (planetary hours), Subha Choghadiya, Gowri Panchangam in Tamil tradition, Rahu Kala, or Abhijit Muhurat. Think of this page as the daily identity card - tithi and nakshatra at sunrise - and the timing tools as overlays for when to act.

How to read today's table

Check tithi and nakshatra first if you are verifying a festival date or a priest's instruction. Note sunrise and sunset when comparing with hora or choghadiya tables - those tools divide the daylight between those two moments. Moonrise and moonset help plan evening arati or fast-breaking where tradition depends on the Moon's visibility.

How these timings are computed

Calculations use Swiss Ephemeris, Lahiri ayanamsa, and the IANA timezone database for daylight saving. Choosing a city page or changing the date above uses the same method, so the Chennai values you see match that city's sky on that date.
