Data Sources

Notes on Tithi's panchang calculation inputs, location handling, timezones, and festival date methodology.

Calculation Inputs

Tithi uses astronomical panchang calculations based on date, latitude, longitude, timezone, and local sunrise/sunset. The server-rendered SEO pages use a deterministic default city when a location is not supplied.

Default Location

Standalone pages such as tithi today and rahu kaal today use Mumbai, India as the default calculation location. City pages use the listed city coordinates.

Why Dates Can Differ

Panchang dates may differ across locations because tithi and observance windows can cross sunrise, sunset, midday, or midnight differently in different timezones.

Best Use

Use Tithi as a practical panchang reference. For highly specific rituals or community traditions, confirm with the local temple, family tradition, or priest.
