1. What are the Five Limbs of Panchang?
The word “Panchang” is derived from two Sanskrit words: ‘Pancha’ (five) and ‘Anga’ (limbs). These five limbs represent different dimensions of time according to the moon and sun positions:
- Tithi (Lunar Day): Represents the angular relationship between the Sun and the Moon. There are 30 Tithis in a lunar month.
- Nakshatra (Constellation): The 27 segments of the moon’s orbit. It represents the “star” of the day.
- Var (Weekday): Named after the seven planetary deities.
- Yoga: A specific calculation of the combined longitudinal position of the Sun and Moon.
- Karana: Half of a Tithi. There are 11 Karanas in total.
