About Panchangam — Tamil Daily Almanac
Panchangam (பஞ்சாங்கம்) is the traditional Tamil Hindu almanac used for thousands of years to determine auspicious timings, festivals, and daily observances. The name comes from "Pancha" (five) + "Anga" (limb) — the five elements: Tithi (lunar day), Vara (weekday), Nakshatra (birth star), Yoga, and Karana. AVAYUGA computes today's Panchangam in real time based on precise astronomical calculations for your location.

What is a Muhurtham?▾
Muhurtham (முகூர்த்தம்) is an auspicious time chosen for important life events such as weddings, house-warming, business launches, or religious ceremonies. A Muhurtham is selected based on the Panchangam — combining a favourable Tithi, Nakshatra, Lagna, and absence of inauspicious periods like Rahukalam.
What is Tithi in Panchangam?▾
Tithi is a lunar day — the time it takes for the Moon to move 12 degrees ahead of the Sun. There are 30 Tithis in a lunar month (15 in Shukla Paksha/waxing and 15 in Krishna Paksha/waning). Important Tithis include Pournami (full moon), Amavasai (new moon), and Ekadasi (11th lunar day).
