Panchang widgets

A panchang that is right for your reader's city

The panchang day starts at local sunrise, so it depends on the place. Every panchang capability takes the date, the IANA time zone and the coordinates, and computes the limbs, timings and festivals for that place.

FAQ

Questions

5 quick answers about the API, the trial and payment.

Still have a question?
01Why does the panchang need coordinates?

Sunrise sets the panchang day, Rahu Kaal and the choghadiya, and sunrise depends on the place. A panchang computed for one city can be wrong in another.

02Which ayanamsha do you use?

Lahiri by default. Chart capabilities accept every common sidereal ayanamsha (KP, Raman, Yukteshwar and more) and tropical, chosen per request. See the accuracy page for the calculation method.

03Can I try it before paying?

Yes. Sign up for the 14-day trial with no card; sandbox keys are free for testing. After the trial the Free plan keeps a small monthly allowance. See pricing.

04Which astrology systems are supported?

Vedic (Parashari), KP, Jaimini, Lal Kitab, Bhrigu Nandi Nadi, Tajika annual charts, Western (tropical), numerology, tarot and Vastu, across 27 API families. Browse them all in the API catalogue.

05Are there SDKs and plugins?

Yes. Official SDKs for TypeScript, Python and PHP, and early-release clients for Java, .NET, Ruby and Swift. There is also a Postman collection, a WordPress plugin, embeddable widgets and an MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. See SDKs and integrations.
