Tithika vs AJA Panchang

Tithika brings the Hindu lunar calendar to your fingertips, calculated with precision for wherever you are in the world. Unlike generic panchang apps, Tithika calculates every tithi from your exact location and local sunrise time — because in the Hindu tradition, a tithi begins and ends at sunrise, not midnight. WHAT YOU GET • Today's tithi, paksha, and nakshatra — updated daily at your local sunrise • Accurate moon phase for each day of the lunar month • Festival and observance calendar — Ekadashi, Purnima, Amavasya, Diwali, Holi, Navratri, and more • Sunrise and sunset times for your location • Month view to plan ahead across the full lunar calendar • Nakshatra with transition times so you know exactly when it changes • Full Devanagari, Tamil and Bengala support — view tithi and nakshatra names in Hindi, Bengala and Tamil LOCATION-AWARE Set your city once and Tithika handles the rest. All calculations update automatically for your timezone, including daylight saving time adjustments. Use GPS for automatic detection or search from thousands of cities worldwide. BEAUTIFUL & FOCUSED A clean, distraction-free design inspired by the night sky. No ads, no clutter — just the information you need for your daily practice, puja, or planning. PERFECT FOR • Daily puja and spiritual practice • Planning vratas (fasts) on Ekadashi and other auspicious days • Checking auspicious muhurtas • Staying connected to the Hindu lunar calendar while living abroad • Anyone who follows Vedic traditions and wants accurate, location-specific tithis

Aja — a name inspired by Rudra, the timeless and powerful form of Shiva. Shiva is also associated with Kāla, the cosmic principle of time, and Laya, the force of dissolution and transformation. Aja Panchang is a location-accurate Vedic panchangam for daily religious and cultural use. It is built for people who want panchang details that match their family tradition, city, and calculation method — with a live view of what is active right now. Daily panchang for your city View tithi, vara, nakshatra, yoga, karana, sunrise and sunset, Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam, Gulika, muhurta windows, festivals, and vratas — all computed for your selected location. Choose how your panchang is calculated Many calendars use one fixed method. Aja Panchang lets you adjust settings that change the result: • Panchangam basis: (Swiss Ephemeris + Lahiri), Vakya (Tamil classical), or Surya Siddhanta • Calendar tradition: Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, or North Indian • Maasa: Amanta or Purnimanta • Festival sect: Smarta, Vaishnava, or Shaiva • Day boundary: local sunrise, Indian reference sunrise, or local midnight The same date and city can be shown the way your family or regional panchang expects. Live panchangam The Live screen updates in real time: current tithi and nakshatra, hora, choghadiya (where your tradition uses it), Rahu/Yamagandam/Gulika, and a countdown to the next change. See what is happening on your clock today, not only a static daily page. Festivals with context Festivals are computed from a rule engine covering Hindu, Jain, and Sikh/Nanakshahi calendars. See why a festival falls on a given date, dual-date cases, four-prahar windows, Shradh periods, vratas, regional festivals, and Pushkaralu (Godavari and Krishna river cycles). Compare cities when you travel View the same civil date across different cities. Sunrise-based timings and festival boundaries can shift with location — useful when moving between regions.
