What is Rahu Kaal in Panchang?

Rahu Kaal is a daily inauspicious period associated with Rahu, varying by weekday and sunrise time. AstroReeti shows exact local Rahu Kaal and factors it into Muhurta scoring.

Why does Tithi differ between Panchang apps?

Differences usually come from location, Ayanamsa, or Tithi calculation method (end time vs observational). AstroReeti uses your set city and documents transition times transparently.

Is Panchang free on AstroReeti?

Daily Panchang for your location is available to registered users. It integrates with Rashifal, Muhurta, and transit features on the app.

Does AstroReeti support regional calendars?

Core Panchang elements are universal in Jyotish. Festival labels include major pan-Indian observances; regional names may expand over time.

What is Abhijit Muhurta?

Abhijit is a brief auspicious midday window on most days, considered favourable for beginning activities when other defects are absent. AstroReeti lists Abhijit timing for your location.

What is Panchang?

Panchang — literally “five limbs” — is the Hindu almanac tracking five primary elements for each day: Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (lunar mansion), Yoga (auspicious combination), Karana (half-Tithi), and Vara (weekday). Panchang also lists sunrise, sunset, moonrise, inauspicious periods (Rahu Kaal, Gulika, Yamaganda), and special Muhurtas like Abhijit.

Every temple, household puja, and Muhurta selection in India references Panchang. Regional variants (Tamil Panchangam, Bengali Panjika, Marathi Panchang) follow the same astronomical basis with local festival emphasis.

Why location matters for Panchang

Tithi and Nakshatra endings depend on local lunar position relative to your city’s horizon. A Tithi valid in Mumbai may differ near midnight from Delhi. AstroReeti computes Panchang from your GPS or selected city coordinates — never a generic Delhi fallback when you set your location.

Panchang and daily spiritual practice

Many seekers choose Puja, fasting (Upvas), or mantra japa on specific Tithis — Ekadashi, Purnima, Amavasya — or Nakshatras aligned with their birth star. AstroReeti links Panchang to your chart so you see Tarabala (star strength) relative to your birth Nakshatra for the day.

From Panchang to Muhurta

Panchang is the raw material; Muhurta is the refined election for an event. AstroReeti connects both: review today’s Panchang, then search forward for Vivah or Griha Pravesh windows that satisfy classical rules. Reeti answers questions like “Is today’s Nakshatra good for starting a fast?” in conversational language.
