What the panchang measures
A panchang has five limbs (pancha = five, anga = limb), all read at local sunrise — which is why it differs by city rather than by country.
- Tithi
- The lunar day: the Moon gaining 12 degrees on the Sun. Thirty tithis make a lunar month, split into the waxing Shukla and waning Krishna paksha.
- Vara
- The weekday, counted from sunrise rather than midnight — so the vara can differ from the civil date in the early hours.
- Nakshatra
- The lunar mansion: one of 27 segments of the zodiac the Moon occupies, each with a ruling planet and four padas.
- Yoga
- A value derived from the combined longitudes of the Sun and Moon; there are 27.
- Karana
- Half a tithi. Eleven karanas repeat through the lunar month.
Why timings differ in Delhi / New Delhi
Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika Kaal and Abhijit Muhurat are fractions of the interval between sunrise and sunset, and the choghadiya divides that same interval into eight parts (with eight more from sunset to the next sunrise). Because they are anchored to the local Sun, every one of them shifts with latitude, longitude and season. This page computes for Delhi / New Delhi at 28.61, 77.21 in the Asia/Kolkata timezone — not for a national average.
