Where to start

For a quick look at today, open the panchang: it covers the tithi, nakshatra, Rahu kaal and sunrise in one place. If you are choosing a time for something new today, go to shubh muhurat, or to choghadiya if your family uses it. For a wedding or a move into a new home, open the vivah or griha pravesh muhurat list. If you keep a monthly fast, the Ekadashi and vrat pages give the full year with the next date marked.

Frequently asked questions

Why are the dates worked out for Nagpur?

A tithi or nakshatra is counted from local sunrise, so a fast day can change by city. The year lists use Nagpur, where Namieta is based. The daily tools (panchang, choghadiya, Rahu kaal, shubh muhurat) let you choose another city or use your location.

My family panchang gives a different day. Which one is right?

Both can be. Regional panchangs follow slightly different rules, for example on when a vrat is kept when a tithi spans two sunrises. Follow the panchang your family or temple uses; these pages say which rule they follow.

How is the rashifal different from the horoscope?

The rashifal is in Hindi and read from your Moon sign in the sidereal zodiac. The horoscope is in English and read from your sun sign in the Western zodiac. Both are built from the real positions of the planets on that day.

Can I pick a muhurat for my wedding from the list?

The list shows dates that pass the common panchang rules at Nagpur. A family panchang or a muhurat chosen from the two Kundlis may differ, so many families confirm a date with their own astrologer.
