How to Use VedKal

本頁內容尚未翻譯。

VedKal is Oracular’s Hindu calendar and Panchang app. Every timing in it comes from the sun and moon at your own coordinates, so a city a few hundred kilometres away sees different Muhurat windows on the same day. Feature pages and Panchang by city live on vedkal.co.in.

No account and no ads. Everything works signed out, and if the network drops, VedKal works out the Panchang on your phone and says so quietly.

Today’s Panchang

Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana and Vara for today, with sunrise, sunset and moonrise. Hora and Choghadiya run live. Muhurat windows — Abhijit, Rahu Kaal, Gulika and the rest — come from your own sunrise and sunset, not a generic table.

The sky dial

The whole day on one dial: Choghadiya, Hora and muhurta rings, a needle on the clock and the sun on its arc. The window running now is raised out of its ring. Tilt the phone and the sky tilts with it.

Festivals

1,700+ festivals, vrats and jayantis, dated by Tithi rather than a fixed Gregorian date, and filtered to the streams and Sampradaya you follow. Each major festival has its own painting, its date and Tithi for your city, the puja window, and why the date moves from year to year. Search any festival for its next date, and share it with a link that opens straight to it in the app.

Calendar, vrats and muhurat dates

The month view puts the Tithi and moon phase under every date and opens with the month’s biggest festival. Separate lists cover:

Fasting days: Ekadashi, Pradosh, Sankashti and the rest.
Auspicious dates for travel, griha pravesh, weddings and new ventures, each with its own window rather than a whole day.

Regional calendars are available for Hindi (Vikram Samvat), Bengali, Gujarati, Tamil and Malayalam.

Family tree and Tithi birthdays

A Hindu birthday follows the Tithi, so its Gregorian date moves every year. Add parents, siblings and children once; VedKal keeps each person’s lunar birthday beside the Gregorian one, recalculates it through Adhik Maas, and reminds you a few days ahead. It also keeps the Pitru (Shraddha) dates of those you remember. Invite relatives with a link or QR code to share one tree.

Kundli

Enter a birth date, time and place once. VedKal draws the chart in North, South or East Indian style, with the Lagna and the Dasha running now, and scores Gun Milan across all eight kootas. Detailed Kundli, marriage and Sade Sati reports are sold separately in the in-app shop.

Mala jaap

A 108-bead mala with Rudraksha, Tulsi or Sphatik beads and your chosen mantra. Tap to count, or wave a hand over the phone; a bell rings at each full mala, and today’s count and goal are kept.

Cards and widgets

Cards: festival greetings, Tithi birthday wishes and a card of the day, sized for WhatsApp status and family groups.
Widgets: Aaj shows today’s Tithi under the moon and Mala counts a bead without opening the app.
Astro alerts: a heads-up for eclipses, retrogrades and other rare events. Off by default, with quiet hours.

Free and VedKal Plus

Free: Panchang, Muhurta and the sky dial, the festival calendar and festival pages, the family tree and Tithi birthdays, the Kundli chart, Mala jaap, the Aaj and Mala widgets, standard cards and astro alerts.
