What is running right now, and the method line at the foot, are not on this list and will not be. The first is the answer you came for; the second is the convention the answer was computed with, and a convention you can switch off is not one anybody declared.
The five limbs with the minute each one ends, sunrise and sunset from the real horizon, and every division of the day that hangs off them. Computed in your browser rather than looked up, so it works with the network off — and the convention it used is printed at the bottom, which is the one thing no other panchang on the web will tell you.
Computed for Kota, Rajasthan, India on 2026-09-30. This page stays on Kota — the panchang at the top of the site follows wherever you are.
The rest of Kota’s day
Also exact for
Sunrise and sunset here are the same, to within two minutes, in Būndi — so every time on this page is theirs too.
Elsewhere today
Rahu kaal
The day is cut from sunrise, so every window in it moves with the city. Same date, eight cities.
1h 3m between Kolkata and Ahmedabad, on the same date. That gap is sunrise, and it is why a table cannot answer this.

The lunar month
amanta

purnimanta

A lunar month ends at the new Moon in the west and the south and at the full Moon in the north, so for the whole of Krishna paksha the same day sits in two differently named months. Most apps pick one silently. The month calendar draws both →
The five limbs
Panchang means five limbs. Each one is an interval rather than a label on the day, and the rail under each shows how far through it is — a tithi averages 24 hours 48 minutes, so the one running at sunrise very often began yesterday. These five are the ones running at sunrise, which is the convention that makes “today’s tithi” a meaningful phrase at all; one of them may therefore have ended already, and it says so rather than leaving you to notice.

Sun and Moon
Rise and set are found by scanning the body’s real altitude and bisecting the crossing, not from the hour-angle formula — which assumes a fixed declination for the day and is therefore fine for the Sun and wrong for the Moon.

Vedic time
The same “right now” as above, said in the units a panchang itself is built from rather than the 24-hour clock laid over it afterward. A ghati is a sixtieth of the sunrise-to-sunrise day — 24 minutes — a pala a sixtieth of that, and a vipala a sixtieth again. There is no convention to declare here: unlike the tables on this page that are left out because sources disagree, nobody disputes this ratio.
The day, marked
Sunrise to sunset, cut into eight. Three of those eighths carry a name and a caution, and one fifteenth near noon carries the opposite. Everything here is arithmetic on sunrise, which is why sunrise is the number worth being accurate about. More on the eighths →

Choghadiya
The same eight parts of the day, named for the planets in Chaldean order — and eight more from sunset to the next sunrise. The first period of the day belongs to the day’s own lord, which is where the names of the weekdays come from.

Hora — the twenty-four planetary hours
A hora is the same cycle at twelve steps instead of eight, so the day’s twelve and the night’s twelve are unequal in length unless you are on the equator at an equinox.

What this page does not compute
Dur muhurtam, varjyam, amrit kaal and festival dates. The first three need per-weekday and per-nakshatra tables that genuinely differ between traditions. Festival dates need more again: a rule per festival, the moment of the day each one is anchored at — midday for one, midnight for another — and the regional variants. Printing any of them to the minute would mean inventing a table and presenting the invention as an answer, so they are left out and named instead. The month name used to be on this list; it is computed now, in both systems, since the convention was ruled. The full method →
