About These Calculations
- All timings are computed astronomically for Dhaka, Bangladesh (Asia/Dhaka) using the Lahiri (Chitra Paksha) ayanamsa.
- The tithi shown first is the udaya tithi — the tithi prevailing at sunrise — which is the traditional value used for observances.
- Auspicious and inauspicious periods such as Rahu Kaal depend on sunrise and sunset, so they differ slightly from city to city.
- Regional panjikas (Bisuddha Siddhanta, Gupta Press) may differ by a few minutes, or occasionally by a day.
