About Ujjain Panchang
Ujjain is the Greenwich of Hindu astronomy — the zero-meridian of the Hindu geographic system passes through it, and it has been the seat of Jyotish Vidya for over two millennia. The Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga, one of the twelve sacred Jyotirlingas, performs the famed Bhasma Aarti at a time dictated by the panchang. Ujjain hosts the Kumbh Mela (Simhastha) every twelve years when Jupiter transits Leo, an event requiring precise astronomical computation of tithi, nakshatra, and planetary yoga.
Ujjain at 23.18°N, 75.79°E is historically where Indian astronomers like Varahamihira and Brahmagupta computed their siddhantas. The city's panchang tradition is unbroken since the Gupta period. Rahu Kaal and Choghadiya timings here carry deep cultural weight — pilgrims and priests alike insist on exact local computation. This page continues that legacy with Swiss Ephemeris precision.
