The five limbs of Panchangam
Panchanga · AstroG
Panchangam means five limbs: Tithi (lunar day), Vara (weekday), Nakshatra (Moon's star), Yoga (Sun + Moon combination) and Karana (half-tithi).
Together with sunrise, Rahu Kalam and hora they decide whether a moment is suitable for important work. AstroG calculates all of them for your place, because sunrise and moonrise differ by location.
