What data does the Panchang API return?

Vedika Panchang API returns complete Hindu calendar data: Tithi (lunar day with start/end times), Nakshatra (lunar mansion with pada), Yoga, Karana, Vara (weekday), Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise, Moonset, Rahu Kaal, Gulika Kaal, Yamaghanda, Abhijit Muhurta, Brahma Muhurta, Choghadiya, Hora timings, and Disha Shool. All calculations are location-specific using Vedika Ephemeris.

Can I get Panchang for any location worldwide?

Yes. Vedika Panchang API accepts latitude, longitude, and timezone parameters. Sunrise, sunset, and all derived timings (Rahu Kaal, Choghadiya, etc.) are computed for the exact location. Works for any city worldwide, not just Indian cities.

How accurate is the Panchang calculation?

Vedika uses Vedika Ephemeris for all astronomical calculations, providing 99.99% accuracy to 0.001 degrees. Tithi, Nakshatra, and Yoga boundaries are computed to the exact minute. This is the same ephemeris used by professional astrologers and astronomical institutions.

What is the pricing for the Panchang API?

Vedika offers a FREE Sandbox with mock data for development. Production plans start at $12/month (Starter). Pro plan is $60/month, Business is $120/month, and Enterprise is $240/month. All plans include access to 140+ endpoints including Panchang, birth charts, horoscopes, and AI chatbot.

Does the API include Muhurta and auspicious timing?

Yes. Vedika provides dedicated Muhurta endpoints including Abhijit Muhurta, Brahma Muhurta, Choghadiya (day and night), Hora, Rahu Kaal, Gulika Kaal, Yamaghanda, Disha Shool, and Gowri Nalla Neram. Each returns precise start and end times for the queried location.
