The Panchang is a calendar based on the traditional units of the Hindu timekeeping system that documents significant time (muhurat and kaal) of all the days, including the Nakshatra that remains in effect besides sunrise, moonrise timings, and several other details.

In addition, the Panchang registers the Tithi (date), Nakshatra (stars), Yoga, Karana and Vaar. Hindus follow the Lunar and the Solar calendars to determine significant events and dates. Interestingly, the Lunar calendar can be classified into Purnimant and Amavasyant.

The former is based on the Lunar cycle that ends with the Full Moon Day (Purnima), while the latter is influenced by the Lunar phase that ends with the New Moon Day (Amavasya).
