HOW TO START

Example:

The user selects March 2009, Canada, Rest of the world, Ottawa.

The details displayed for the date of 27th March are

1. The sun raises at 05:50 AM of 27th March at Ottawa.

2. Tithi Pratipada ends at 10:00 AM of 27th March at Ottawa.

3. Nakshtra(asterism) Revati ends at 18:51 (6:51 PM) at Ottawa

4. Yoga Aindra ends 00:18 night hours of 27th March (i.e, the early hours of 28th). As we calculate everything from the sunrise, the time given here for the yoga falls on the night of 27th and that means it is 00:18 AM of 28th. That is why we have clearly stated that the time starts from sunrise to sunrise.

Tithi, Nakshtra and Yoga

The names of the Tithis are given in the Sanskrit language and their Telugu or conventional names have been given in the Telugu version of the calendar. This is intended to serve all. So Andhra people may use the Telugu version and in case of any difficulty, they are free to write to us.

On some days there are two tithis and in some cases the same tithi comes on two days and the ending time for it on the first day is given as "full day". In the first case the second tithi is called Kshaya tithi. And in the second case the phenomenon is called Tithi Vriddhi.

If two thitis have been given on a single day then the second tithi is called the Kshaya tithi. That means it starts after the sunrise of the given date and concludes before the sunrise of the next day.

The same reasoning should be applied for Nakshtra and Yoga also.

Durmuhurta

On each day, during the day and night time, some particular periods are noticed that are not supportive for initiation of any kind of work. That means that period of time is not auspicious for anything. These periods have been given the name Durmuhurta. There is a specific link below the data of the tithi, etc. This link  goes to the page of durmuhurta, where the timings for the same have been given for each and every day.

Name of the Month

The Starting and the Ending of the month have been provided according to the tradition followed in South India. People of North India start the month with the tithi Poornima. So the name of the next Krishna Paksha should be taken instead of the given one to match their tradition. There is no realistic difference in them except the name.
The data provided for different cities and the time provided there represents the local time according to the GMT. The day light saving (DST) has not been applied to the time and where ever it is required, the users may correct the same for that city. The DST in Canada and US is applicable from March to November.
