1.Panchangam or Hindu Vedic Almanac
Panchang is used by Vedic Astrologers to judge the auspiciousness of the time and is also used to calculate the Vedic birth chart or Janam Patrika of a person.
Panchang Is ancient Indian Calendar system based on Astrological facts and astronomical data. Calculations are done based on the position and movement of the planets, stars, Nakshtra and constellations.
The actual casting of a Panchang involves elaborate mathematical work involving high level of spherical geometry and sound understanding of astronomical phenomena, such as sidereal movements of heavenly bodies.
