Today's Panchang (Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana)

Panchang literally means "five limbs" (pancha = five, anga = limb) — the five pieces of information that define a day in the Hindu calendar. Those five are the tithi (the lunar day), the vara (the weekday), the nakshatra (the Moon's birth star for the day), the yoga (a Sun–Moon angular combination), and the karana (a half-tithi). Read together, they tell you the character of today in the traditional calendar — and they're what people are really asking for when they search "aaj ka panchang."

iwe.guru computes today's Panchang straight from the sky, with no AI guesswork in the numbers at all. We take the real positions of the Sun and Moon from the NASA/JPL DE421 ephemeris and derive each of the five limbs by the classical arithmetic: the tithi from the Moon-minus-Sun angle (and whether we're in the bright Shukla or dark Krishna fortnight), the nakshatra from the Moon's sidereal longitude (Lahiri ayanamsa), the yoga from the Sun-plus-Moon angle, and the karana as the half-tithi. Because it's pure astronomy, the Panchang itself is exact — the only thing the AI does is put it into plain English for you.

We're honest about scope. We give you the five core limbs cleanly and clearly; for the moment we lead with the calendar's structure rather than a long list of muhurat timings, and we'd rather show you fewer things accurately than pad the page. Where the tradition uses the Panchang to suggest auspicious or inauspicious stretches, we present that as traditional guidance for reflection — a calm way to relate to the rhythm of the day — not as a rule about what you must or mustn't do, and never as medical, financial or legal advice.

And, openly, this is an AI. The five limbs are computed by software from real positions; an openly-AI guide explains them plainly. No invented pandit, no mystique — just an accurate Panchang, honestly presented, free and with no signup.
