What the monthly table means
The Positional Astronomy Centre’s Rashtriya Panchang explanation lists the same five limbs: vara, tithi, nakshatra, yoga, and karana. A calendar row samples them at local sunrise; the “until” times show the next calculated change in each angular limb. A name can change again before the following sunrise, so a month overview is a reference for sunrise values rather than a complete timeline of every intermediate state.
For a selected day or clock instant, use the daily Panchanga calculator. For every tithi crossing in a month, including one that never appears at sunrise, use the monthly tithi calendar. Read the five-limb monthly method →
