Lunar month
Margashirsha (Purnimanta)
How this is calculated
Lahiri, 24° 14′ 1″. Sunrise and sunset use the upper edge of the Sun at standard refraction near the horizon.
Coordinates: 40° 31′ 7″ N, 74° 24′ 43″ W. Skybond birth charts use True Chitra Paksha ayanamsa, which differs from Lahiri by a fraction of a degree. Both stay within the Vedic sidereal tradition.
Common questions
What is panchang?
Panchang is the traditional Vedic day almanac. It lists the weekday (vara), lunar day (tithi), Moon star (nakshatra), yoga, karana, and the timed windows that many calendars mark for the civil date.
Why do panchang times differ by city?
Sunrise, sunset, and the Moon's motion depend on where you are on Earth. This page uses the city's latitude, longitude, and time zone so every clock time is local to that place.
What is the difference between Purnimanta and Amanta months?
Both name lunar months, but they advance the name at different points in the cycle. North India often follows Purnimanta; much of south and west India uses Amanta. This page shows Purnimanta by default and notes the Amanta name when it differs.
