Lunar Day Angle
Formed by each 12° angular longitudinal separation between the Moon and Sun. 15 Tithis in Shukla Paksha and 15 in Krishna Paksha.
Solar Weekday
The 7 days of the week, each governed by a planetary deity: Ravivara (Sun), Somavara (Moon), Mangalavara (Mars), Budhavara (Mercury), Guruvara (Jupiter), Shukravara (Venus), Shanivara (Saturn).
Lunar Mansion
The 27 asterisms of 13° 20' each through which the Moon traverses the zodiac, subdivided into 4 Padas of 3° 20' (Navamsha).
Angular Longitude Sum
Sum of the solar and lunar longitudes divided into 27 specific Yogas (such as Vishkambha, Priti, Ayushman, Saubhagya, Shobhana, Sukarma).
Half-Tithi
Half of a Tithi (6° separation). There are 11 Karanas: 7 movable (Bava, Balava, Kaulava, Taitila, Gara, Vanija, Vishti/Bhadra) and 4 fixed (Shakuni, Chatushpada, Naga, Kintughna).
Midday Auspicious Window
The 8th Muhurta of the day, approximately 24 minutes before and after local solar noon. Excellent for commencing important initiatives.
Weekly Rahu Kaal Schedule (राहुकाल समय)
Rahu Kaal lasts approximately 90 minutes each day and represents an unfavorable window for initiating commercial contracts, journeys, or ceremonies.

Astronomical Ephemeris & Precision Disclosure:
Panchang calculations are computed in real-time in the browser using the open-source Astronomy Engine (VSOP87 planetary theory for the Sun and Montenbruck & Pfleger's Improved Lunar Ephemeris formulation for the Moon). Sidereal longitudes utilize the official Lahiri (Chitra Paksha) Ayanamsa standard. Theoretical positions are accurate to within ~1 arcminute (~0.016°), corresponding to ~1 to 2 minutes in Tithi and Nakshatra transition timestamps. Topocentric sunrise and sunset include 34 arcminutes atmospheric refraction and 16 arcminutes solar semi-diameter; local meteorological variations (temperature, barometric pressure, elevation) may cause ±1 to 2 minute variations in observed horizon events.
