Panchanga is the astrological almanac based on the ancient Vedic system of calculation. It is known as Panchanga or ‘Five Limbs’ in Sanskrit as it considers five aspects of time: tithi(day of the lunar cycle), vara(week), nakshatra(star), yoga(quality of time) and karana(time appropriate for certain type of actions), based on the movements of the Moon. There are many types of panchangas. The one most often consulted clumps time into a 60 year cycle or samvatsara – with each year assigned a special name, for instance, this year is known as Nandana Samvatsara.
A year is typically divided into two parts: Uttarayana (When the Sun enters the Tropic of Capricorn) and Dakshinayana (When the Sun enters the Tropic of Cancer). During Uttarayana we have longer days and during Dakshinayana we have longer nights.
