Let us know today’s auspicious time, movement of planets and exact time of Rahukaal.
What is Vedic calendar?
In Indian astrology, Hindu calendar is also known as ‘Vedic calendar’. Through this the most accurate and scientific calculation of time and period is done. Panchang mainly consists of five important parts – Tithi, Vaar, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana. With the help of this Panchang, we get accurate information about every day’s auspicious time, Rahukaal, sunrise-sunset time and position of the Sun and Moon.
