Scroll through today. The times are real, calculated for your city.

Before sunrise, know what today is
Tithi, nakshatra and vara for your city, and what is observed today, like Ekadashi or Chaturthi, with the reason.
See today’s panchangHow Pandit Ji stays honest
- Calculated, not guessed
- Sunrise, tithi, nakshatra, muhurtham and birth charts are computed from NASA JPL DE440 planetary data and the Lahiri ayanamsha. The AI explains the numbers. It never produces them.
- Taken from the texts, never composed
- Mantras and puja steps come from researched, printed sources, and a puja only appears once its research is reviewed. Pandit Ji does not write new verses.
- Honest when the texts are silent
“I could not establish this reliably from the sources available to me.”
That is a real answer Pandit Ji gives. A plain “I don’t know” is better than a confident guess.
Pocket Pandit does not replace your family purohit for samskaras, havans or temple rites. Guidance is devotional and educational, not medical, legal or financial advice.

How a panchang day is actually read
Five limbs, not one word. Tithi, vara, nakshatra, yoga, karana. A day is their argument with each other.

What Abhijit muhurtham is for
Abhijit is a short window around local midday, counted from sunrise. It is a traditional relief valve, not a universal yes.

Rahu kalam, and what people actually pause
Rahu kalam is one and a half hours of the day, shifting with the weekday. People pause beginnings. They do not pause a hospital.
