The daily column दैनिक पञ्चाङ्ग

A dated pañcāṅga, published every morning at true sunrise over Ujjain — the classical prime meridian of Indian astronomy. Every line is computed from the same engines the rest of this site runs on. No language model writes any part of it.

Why it appears at a different time each day

The publishing instant is a computed sunrise, not a clock time. A Vedic day begins at sunrise, so a daily almanac that appeared at a fixed hour would be publishing a day that had not started. Sunrise over Ujjain moves through the year, and so does this column.

Next column — 31 July 2026, at sunrise, 05:57 IST
