Dainik shows the Hindu lunisolar calendar the way it is actually computed — from the true positions of the Sun and Moon, for your own city's sunrise. THE MOON, AS IT REALLY IS A real-time moon with the astronomically correct phase and orientation — not a stock glyph. The same engine renders it on your iPhone, your widgets, and your Apple Watch. THE FULL PANCHANGA • Tithi and paksha prevailing at your local sunrise — with the exact time each tithi, nakshatra, yoga, and karana ends • Masa with correct adhika (intercalary) month handling • Vikram Samvat and Shaka Samvat, with the 60-year samvatsara name • Sunrise, sunset, and the day's nakshatra at a glance FESTIVALS AND OBSERVANCES Upcoming Ekadashi, Purnima, Amavasya, and major festivals — Diwali, Holi, Janmashtami, Navratri, Makar Sankranti and more — computed from the calendar itself, never a hardcoded list. YOUR TRADITION, YOUR SETTINGS • Purnimanta (North Indian) or Amanta (South & West) month reckoning • Vikram or Shaka as your primary era • Sanskrit, Hindi, or English — with Devanagari numerals • 26 built-in cities or your device's location ON YOUR WRIST A watch app in the calm style of a classic lunar face, with complications for your watch face and a dimmed Always-On Display mode. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Works fully offline. Your location is used on the device only — Dainik collects nothing, tracks nothing, and has no accounts. Calculations use the Drik (true-position) method with the Lahiri ayanamsa, validated against established ephemerides across thousands of days. Regional conventions can cause a one-day difference for some observances; Dainik follows the tithi prevailing at local sunrise.
