Tamil panchangam today is what families in Tamil Nadu, and Tamil homes abroad, open each morning: the five limbs plus Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam, and Gulikai. The live line on this page is Chennai. Another city needs its own sun.

Frequently asked questions
What is Tamil panchangam today?
Tamil panchangam today is the daily almanac Tamil homes read: tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, sunrise, Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam, and Gulikai (Gulika Kaal). AllMandir calculates those for the city you pick. This page’s live line uses Chennai as the Tamil Nadu reference.
Is panchangam the same word as panchang?
Yes. Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam writing often say panchangam. Hindi and English often say panchang or aaj ka panchang. The five limbs are the same idea. City sunrise still changes the clock.
What is Rahu Kalam in Tamil panchangam?
Rahu Kalam (Rahu Kaal) is one of eight parts of local daytime. Tamil families usually avoid starting a wedding, a griha pravesh, or a new purchase then. The method is on Rahu Kaal today. The Chennai clock is on the Chennai panchang.
What are Yamagandam and Gulikai?
Yamagandam and Gulikai are the other daytime windows Tamil panchangam lists beside Rahu Kalam. They also move with sunrise. The city table prints all three. This page is the explanation plus today’s Chennai reference.
Does Tamil panchangam use a solar month?
Many Tamil calendars name the solar month (Chithirai through Panguni) beside the tithi. AllMandir shows that solar month on the city panchang and on Hindu solar months. Festivals such as Pongal follow the Sun; Ekadashi still follows the Moon.
Can I use a Chennai panchangam in New Jersey?
Use it only if you are in Chennai. In North Jersey, open Edison, Wayne, or New York. Rahu Kalam there is that city’s sunrise, not IST.
