Learn the Hindu calendar, one idea at a time
The Jyotisha blog explains the ideas behind the panchang and your kundli in plain language. Each post takes one term you see in the app — a tithi, a nakshatra, your lagna or a dasha — and shows what it means, where it comes from and how it is worked out. No jargon, no fear, and no claims we can't explain.
Posts are short enough to read over a cup of chai, and each one points to the screen in the Jyotisha app where you can see the idea for your own city and birth chart. Everything is written in both Hindi and English — switch languages with the button at the top.
Coming up: how nakshatras are counted, why rahu kaal changes every day, what your lagna tells you, and how dasha periods are calculated.
