About Tithi Mala
A free, accurate Hindu Panchang and Naam Jap service — no ads on sacred screens, no predictions, no compromises on precision.
What is Tithi Mala?
Tithi Mala is a daily Hindu Panchang service that provides accurate Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana, Paksha, sunrise, sunset, Rahu Kaal, and Choghadiya times for 15 major Indian cities. Alongside the panchang, Tithi Mala offers a meditative Naam Jap counter with a mala bead visualization for daily mantra practice.
Unlike many panchang websites that rely on pre-computed lookup tables or approximate calculations, Tithi Mala computes every value from first principles using Swiss Ephemeris — the same astronomical library trusted by research institutions and professional observatories worldwide.
How We Compute Panchang Data
Every panchang element on Tithi Mala is computed by our panchangam engine, a Rust-based astronomical computation library built on Swiss Ephemeris. Here is what this means for accuracy:
- Swiss Ephemeris precision — planetary positions accurate to sub-arcsecond levels, validated against NASA JPL ephemeris data
- Location-specific calculations — sunrise, sunset, Rahu Kaal, and Choghadiya are computed for each city's exact latitude and longitude, not approximated from a reference city
- Real-time computation — the panchangam engine runs on AWS Lambda, computing fresh data for each request rather than serving stale pre-computed tables
- Tithi and Nakshatra transitions — exact start and end times computed by iteratively solving the Sun-Moon angular distance equation
