As per the Hindu Vedic calendar, today—Thursday, July 17, 2025—marks the Saptami Tithi (7th day) of the Krishna Paksha in the holy month of Shravan. This tithi will remain in effect until 9:29 PM tonight, after which the Ashtami Tithi will begin. The Moon will be positioned in Pisces (Meena Rashi) throughout the day. The day also features a combination of Revati Nakshatra and Sukarma Yoga, adding to its spiritual and astrological significance.

🕉️ What is a Panchang?

The Panchang, also known as the Vedic calendar, is a detailed astrological almanac used to calculate time and celestial positioning. It consists of five key elements:

1. Tithi (Lunar Day)

2. Nakshatra (Constellation)

3. Yoga

4. Karana

5. Vaar (Day of the Week)

Together, these help determine auspicious timings (shubh muhurat), inauspicious periods like Rahu Kaal, sunrise and sunset timings, and the planetary positions of the Sun and Moon.
