Question 1

What is Panchang?

Accepted Answer

Panchang is a Vedic almanac that provides five key elements of each day — Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (star), Yoga, Karan, and Var (weekday). It guides auspicious timing for important activities.

Question 2

What is Rahu Kaal?

Accepted Answer

Rahu Kaal is an inauspicious period each day ruled by Rahu. It occurs once daily and lasts approximately 90 minutes. Starting new ventures during Rahu Kaal is traditionally avoided.

Question 3

What is Choghadiya?

Accepted Answer

Choghadiya divides the day and night into 8 slots each. Each slot is classified as auspicious (Amrit, Shubh, Labh, Char) or inauspicious (Udveg, Rog, Kaal). It helps choose the best time for any activity.

Question 4

What is Abhijit Muhurat?

Accepted Answer

Abhijit Muhurat is a highly auspicious period occurring around solar noon each day. It is considered ideal for starting new work, business deals, and important decisions.

Question 5

What is Brahma Muhurat?

Accepted Answer

Brahma Muhurat is a sacred period 96 minutes before sunrise. It is considered the best time for meditation, yoga, study, and spiritual practice.

Question 6

Why are timings different for each city?

Accepted Answer

All Panchang timings are based on local sunrise and sunset. Since sunrise happens at different times in Mumbai, Delhi, Dubai, or Toronto, every timing — Rahu Kaal, Choghadiya, Muhurat — is different for each city. VedKaal calculates based on your actual city, not a fixed IST offset.
