Frequently asked questions

Which timezone should I use for the date parameter?

Pass the date in local time for the location you're computing the panchang for — the API uses the lat/lon to compute sunrise-based periods.

Is this accurate for all cities worldwide?

Yes — sunrise, sunset, and all derived periods are computed from Swiss Ephemeris for the exact lat/lon you pass, not from a city database.

Can I get a monthly panchang?

Yes — GET /panchang/monthly-panchang?month=09/2026&lat=...&lon=... returns the full month in one call.

Does this support Drik panchang or Vakya panchang?

The API uses Swiss Ephemeris (Drik/astronomical) computations — the same standard as most modern Drik panchang apps.
