What the panchang elements mean
Tithi is the lunar day, each spanning 12° of the Moon’s lead over the Sun; there are 30 per lunar month. Nakshatra is the Moon’s lunar mansion (27 of them). Yoga comes from the combined longitude of Sun and Moon. Karana is half a tithi. Vara is the weekday. Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika are daily time windows computed from sunrise and sunset, which is why they change with the city and the season.
