About Today's Panchang in Varanasi
Panchang, the traditional Vedic almanac, is calculated uniquely for each location based on local sunrise and sunset times. Since Varanasi is at latitude 25.32°N and longitude 82.97°E, its Panchang timings are distinct from those of other Indian cities. The five core elements — Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (star), Yoga, Karana (half-day), and Vara (weekday) — shown above are current for Varanasi and update daily.
Residents of Varanasi can use this Panchang to plan auspicious activities during the Shubh Muhurat windows and avoid significant decisions during Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, and Gulika Kaal. For ceremonies like weddings, griha pravesh, or starting a new business, consult the Varanasi-specific auspicious timings listed above.
