The weekday and its planetary ruler — the day's base nature.
Today's Panchang
The Panchang is the Vedic almanac of the day — read from the Moon and Sun, it tells you the texture of the hours: the five limbs, the auspicious and inauspicious windows, and the Choghadiya for timing what matters.

The five limbs
The lunar day — the Moon's angle from the Sun. Sets what the day favours: to begin, to finish, to rest.
The Moon's mansion — the star it travels through today, colouring mood and the best activities.
The Sun–Moon sum — an auspicious or testing quality woven through the whole day.
The half-tithi — a finer marker of the day's practical, workable energy.
Auspicious & inauspicious times
Auspicious (Shubha)
Inauspicious (Ashubha)
Choghadiya
Quick good/neutral/bad windows for starting work, travel or errands — eight by day, eight by night.

How to read your Panchang
The Hindu day runs sunrise to sunrise, so today's limbs are computed from this morning's sky. Use the Choghadiya and Abhijit Muhurat for the best windows to begin something, and steer clear of Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika for new ventures, signings or journeys. The tithi and nakshatra set the day's mood; their end-times tell you when the energy turns.
