Today's Panchang elements
Why a city-specific Panchang matters
The tithi and nakshatra are the same everywhere on any given date, but the Panchang becomes usable for muhurta only when the solar limbs are local. Sunrise in Varanasi differs from other cities by minutes to hours, which shifts Rahu Kaal, the Choghadiya slots and every hora. Traditional families in Uttar Pradesh time weddings, griha pravesh and vehicle pujas to this local almanac rather than a generic one.
