Your Janma Panchang is the complete Panchang — the five limbs of Vedic timekeeping — frozen at the exact moment of your birth. The word Panchang means "five limbs" (pancha + anga), and each limb measures a different relationship between the Sun and the Moon:

• Tithi — the lunar day: every 12° the Moon gains on the Sun, with 30 tithis in a lunar month split between the waxing Shukla and waning Krishna Pakshas.
• Vara — the Vedic weekday, running from sunrise to the next sunrise and ruled by one of the seven classical grahas. A birth before local sunrise belongs to the previous day's vara.
• Nakshatra — the lunar mansion (one of 27) the Moon occupied, with its pada, ruling planet, and deity.
• Yoga — one of 27 combinations formed by adding the Sun's and Moon's longitudes, each auspicious or inauspicious by nature.
• Karana — the half-tithi (6° of separation), made from 7 movable and 4 fixed names across the month.

Together these five limbs are the classical snapshot of a birth moment — the same five things a traditional astrologer notes first when a child is born, before any chart is drawn. They colour the temperament, indicate auspiciousness, and fix the tithi on which the Vedic birthday is celebrated each year.

For an accurate result, enter your exact time of birth and select your birth city from the dropdown so the coordinates and timezone are correct — the tithi, nakshatra, yoga, and karana all change within hours, and the vara depends on local sunrise. To go deeper into any one limb, see our dedicated Janma Tithi, Janma Vara, Janma Nakshatra, Janma Yoga, and Janma Karana calculators, or consult a qualified astrologer to read the Panchang alongside the full chart.
