SECTION 0 — Page Overview, Architecture & Routes
0.1  Why Panchang Is a Daily Return Page
Panchang — panchaanga — 5 limbs of time. Har kaam shuru karne se pehle Indian log puchte hain: 'Aaj kaun si tithi hai? Rahu Kaal kab hai? Subah niklein to kaunsa waqt shubh hai?' Yeh page newspaper ke TV guide jaisa hai — roz kaam aata hai.
0.2  Three Routes — Complete Architecture
0.3  Location Priority
User is logged in + has saved location → use that city
Browser Geolocation API permission granted → use coordinates → city lookup
IP geolocation fallback → approximate city
Default → Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh (IST UTC+5:30)
City in URL slug: Always lowercase, no spaces, hyphens for multi-word: 'new-delhi', 'ayodhya', 'varanasi'. Canonical city list maintained in DB.
SECTION 1 — Page Header & Location Detection
1.1  Page Header
H1: "Aaj Ka Panchang"
Date line: "[Weekday], [DD Month YYYY] — [Hindu Samvat Date]"
Example: "Shaniwar, 26 April 2025 — Vaishakha Krishna Ekadashi, Vikram Samvat 2082"
Location line: "[City Name] ke liye  |  Badlo →"  — click Badlo to change city
1.2  Location Selector
1.3  Samvat Display
SECTION 2 — Panchang Main Data Panel — 5 Elements
2.1  Pancha Anga — 5 Cards
'Panchang' = Pancha (5) + Anga (limb). Ye 5 cheezein hain:
2.2  Card Design Each Anga
2.3  All Tithis — Reference
SECTION 3 — Surya & Chandra — Sunrise/Sunset/Moonrise
3.1  Surya (Sun) Data
3.2  Chandra (Moon) Data
3.3  Visual Design
Sun card: Orange/saffron gradient card. Moon card: Silver/blue card. Side by side desktop. Stack mobile.
Sunrise/Sunset shown as time stamps with small directional compass icon. Moonrise shown with moon phase icon (waxing crescent/full/waning etc.).
SECTION 4 — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda & Gulika Kaal
4.1  Rahu Kaal
Rahu Kaal = 1.5 ghante ki period jo har din mein hoti hai aur jisme koi bhi naya kaam shuru nahi karna chahiye.
Display: Large prominent card. Red accent. Time range clearly shown.
Example: 'Rahu Kaal: 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM  |  Aaj AVOID karo'
Status indicator: If current time is in Rahu Kaal → show red 'ABHI RAHU KAAL CHAL RAHA HAI' alert. Else → 'Aaj Rahu Kaal: [time]'
All 7 days — Rahu Kaal schedule:
NOTE: These are standard IST timings assuming 6AM sunrise. Actual times vary by city and season based on sunrise time. Calculate as: Rahu Kaal duration = (sunset-sunrise)/8. Apply day-specific slot.
4.2  Yamaganda Kaal
Similar to Rahu Kaal — another inauspicious period. Less known but shown for completeness.
4.3  Gulika Kaal
Third inauspicious period — avoid for new beginnings.
4.4  Combined Display Design
Three inauspicious periods shown together in a compact 'Avoid These Times' section:
Red-bordered card titled 'Aaj In Samay Koi Naya Kaam Mat Shuru Karo'
Three rows: Rahu Kaal | Yamaganda | Gulika — each with exact time range
If current time overlaps any → show active alert with red highlight
'Kyu?' tooltip/link explaining each — builds trust and education
SECTION 5 — Choghadiya — Day & Night Table
5.1  Choghadiya — 8 Types
5.2  Daily Choghadiya Table Design
Two side-by-side tables: DIN (Day) and RAAT (Night). Each has 8 rows.
DEV: Client-side JS highlights current Choghadiya slot based on current time. Auto-advances when slot ends. No API call needed — calculate from sunrise time which is in the page data.
5.3  Sample Day Choghadiya — Sunday, Lucknow
SECTION 6 — Abhijit Muhurta
6.1  Abhijit Muhurta Display
6.2  Brahma Muhurta
Also shown near Abhijit:
SECTION 7 — Hora Chart — Planet Hours
7.1  Hora System
Din ko 24 equal parts mein divide karo. Har part = 1 hora = 1 planet. First hora of day = day's ruling planet (Sun on Sunday etc.). Sequence: Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars — repeating.
7.2  Hora Display Design
Compact timeline bar — 24 segments. Current hora highlighted. Color-coded per planet.
SECTION 8 — Shubh Muhurat for Specific Activities
8.1  Activity Muhurat Tabs — 10 Categories
8.2  Activity Muhurat Output Format
When user selects an activity:
'Aaj ke liye shubh samay: [time range 1], [time range 2]'
'Reason: Abhijit Muhurta + Shubh Choghadiya + [Nakshatra] nakshatra ek saath hain'
'Avoid: [time range] — Rahu Kaal'
For travel: 'Disha Shool aaj: [direction] — is disha mein na jaayein'
8.3  Disha Shool — Direction Inauspiciousness
Based on day of week — certain directions should be avoided for travel:
NOTE: Show Disha Shool prominently for today with the remedy. Many users travel daily and this is very practically useful.

Ram Navami, Hanuman Jayanti, Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri, Diwali etc.

APPENDIX — Components, APIs & Calculations
A.1  React Components
A.2  API Calls
A.3  Panchang Calculation Notes
Tithi calculation:
Tithi = difference between Sun and Moon longitudes ÷ 12°
Each tithi = 12° of difference. 30 tithis per month (15 each paksha)
Tithi end time = when Moon completes another 12° from Sun
Nakshatra calculation:
Moon's longitude from 0° Aries (Sidereal, Lahiri) ÷ 13°20' = Nakshatra number
27 nakshatras × 13°20' = 360°
Nakshatra end time = when Moon moves to next 13°20' segment
Rahu Kaal calculation:
Divide day (sunrise to sunset) into 8 equal parts
Day-specific part number: Sun=8, Mon=2, Tue=7, Wed=5, Thu=6, Fri=4, Sat=3
Example Sunday: part 8 of 8 = last 1/8 of day duration
Choghadiya calculation:
Day: divide (sunrise to sunset) into 8 equal slots
Night: divide (sunset to next sunrise) into 8 equal slots
Day starting Choghadiya by weekday: Sun=Udveg, Mon=Amrit, Tue=Kaal, Wed=Labh, Thu=Shubh, Fri=Char, Sat=Rog
Sequence: Udveg→Char→Labh→Amrit→Kaal→Shubh→Rog→Udveg (repeating)
