What is Tamil Panchangam?
The word Panchangam (பஞ்சாங்கம்) comes from Sanskrit — Pancha (five) + Anga (limb). It is the traditional Hindu almanac that records five essential elements of a day based on the positions of the Sun and Moon. Tamil Panchangam follows the Thirukkanitha (astronomical calculation) system, which uses precise planetary mathematics rather than observation-based tables.
A Panchangam is consulted for choosing auspicious dates and times for important events such as weddings, naming ceremonies, housewarming, business launches, travel and religious rituals. It is an indispensable guide in Tamil culture.
The Five Elements of Panchangam
Each element measures a different astronomical cycle between the Sun and Moon, giving a complete picture of the day’s energy and quality.
The day of the week, each ruled by a planet. Sunday (Sun), Monday (Moon), Tuesday (Mars), Wednesday (Mercury), Thursday (Jupiter), Friday (Venus), Saturday (Saturn).
The lunar day — the Moon’s angular separation from the Sun divided into 30 tithis. 15 tithis each in the waxing (Shukla) and waning (Krishna) fortnights.
The lunar mansion — the 27-star constellation the Moon occupies. Each Nakshatra spans 13°20′ of the zodiac and has a planetary lord and specific qualities.
The auspicious combination — calculated by adding the sidereal longitudes of the Sun and Moon. There are 27 yogas ranging from highly auspicious to inauspicious.
A half-tithi — each tithi is divided into two karanas. There are 11 karanas (4 fixed + 7 movable), each influencing the suitability of activities during its period.
Auspicious & Inauspicious Times
The Panchangam also determines specific periods within the day when activities should be undertaken or avoided, based on the day of the week and sunrise time.
-
Nalla Neram / நல்ல நேரம்
Two favourable 1-hour slots each day, determined by Jupiter and Venus horas in the Chaldean planetary cycle. Ideal for beginning important activities. -
Gowri Nalla Neram / கௌரி நல்ல நேரம்
Two additional auspicious periods from the traditional Gowri Panchangam tables. Widely used in Tamil households for daily auspicious starts.
-
Rahu Kalam / ராகு காலம்
A 90-minute period ruled by Rahu each day. Starting new ventures, travel or auspicious activities is traditionally avoided during this time. -
Kuligai / குளிகை
An inauspicious period associated with Gulika, son of Saturn. Avoid signing agreements or beginning journeys during this window. -
Emagandam / எமகண்டம்
A period associated with Yama (god of death). Considered highly inauspicious for new beginnings and auspicious ceremonies. -
Sulam / சூலம்
An inauspicious direction that changes each day of the week. Remedy involves offering a specific substance before undertaking a journey in that direction.
Tamil Solar Calendar Months
The Tamil calendar is a solar sidereal calendar — the month is determined by the Sun’s entry into each zodiac sign (Rasi). A Tamil year has 12 months, each beginning when the Sun crosses into the next Rasi.
Tamil Year 2025–2026 is Krodhee (க்ரோதி) — the 38th year in the current 60-year Samvatsara cycle.
