Five Elements Of Hindu Panchang

Hindu Panchang comprises of five distinguished sources of energy, which are as follows:

●  Vaar (Day of the Week): Panchang follows a seven-day week and modulates auspicious events, dates and occasions based on it. The 7-day week starts from Sunday to Saturday and are named after their representative planets.
●  Tithi (The Lunar Day): It refers to the status and position of Moon in Shukla Paksha (waxing phase) or Krishna Paksha (waning phase). In either cases, Tithi is named after the condition of Moon. this makes up for one main reason that there are 14 tithis in both cycles between Amavasya and Purnima.
●  Nakshatra (Lunar Mansion): The universe is divided into 12 constellations or zodiacs according to Vedic Astrology. As defined, Nakshatras are group of 27 stars forming a zodiac sign. They are analysed according to the Moon’s position.
●  Karana (Half Lunar Day): The half of a Yog is called Karana. 2 Karanas make a Date or Tithi, totalling to 11 Karanas in all. 4 of them are fixed, and remaining 7 are movable.
●  Yoga (Luni-Solar Day): A yoga is calculated by summing the Longitude of Moon and Sun and divided into 27 parts in 13°20'.
