 - Auspicious timings in a day
 - Naming a new born child 
- Inaugurating a new venture, house, building, etc 
- Fixing a Marriage date
 - Planning for a pilgrimage 
- Buying a new house, Vehicle, equipment, etc 
- Performing ceremonies or Pooja and so on and so forth.. Hence, the "Panchangam" is something that is applied on to day-to-day life events and should be considered a key aspect of living when you bring the 'Veda Shastra' in to the context. 
It also is very important to perform the calculations accurately to arrive at the conclusions and this app ensures perfect calculations. 

** Gulika Kalam
 The concept of ‘Gulika Kalam’ has some misconceptions. Some consider it as an auspicious timing and some consider it as inauspicious. So, what is really in store!
It is believed that when any new venture is started or a fresh contract is going to be signed or a new vehicle is to be purchased, etc during the "Gulika Kalam", that particular event is said to repeat again and again in future.
So, happenings of the above nature are alone performed during 'Gulika Kalam'. For obvious reasons, events like weddings will not be conducted during this time.
Also, some believe this "duration" is actually ruled by 'Shani' (Saturn) and hence this particular period is considered to be inauspicious. To conclude, the above is the belief perceived on "Gulika Kalam" in general and it is up to the user on how he/she would perceive it..! Please note:
