Panchang — the five angas पञ्चाङ्ग

Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana and Vara with their end-times, plus the month and the Moon’s and Sun’s signs — computed for this city’s sunrise. Times after midnight use the traditional extended clock (e.g. 27:23 = 03:23 next morning).

Tithi: Tritiyaतृतीयाtill 26:08then Chaturthiचतुर्थीtill 50:13
What this means
The lunar day. It is set by how far the Moon has pulled ahead of the Sun — each 12 degrees of separation is one tithi. The tithi shapes which activities the tradition favours, and it ends at the time shown, when the next one begins.

How we compute this panchang

Every time on this page is calculated from the actual positions of the Sun and Moon using the Swiss Ephemeris (the same high-precision astronomical engine used by professional astronomers), not from a printed almanac or a fixed table.

Sidereal zodiac, Lahiri ayanamsha — the standard used by the Indian government calendar (ayanamsha for this date: 24.2374°). All nakshatra, rashi, tithi and yoga boundaries follow from it.
Local true sunrise — muhurta windows (Rahu Kaal, Choghadiya, Hora, Abhijit and the rest) are measured from the true sunrise computed for Chicago's exact coordinates, so they are correct for your location, not a regional approximation.
Two month conventions — we show both the Amanta (new-moon-to-new-moon) and Purnimanta (full-moon-to-full-moon) lunar month, because different regions of India follow different ones; an Adhika (intercalary) month is marked when it occurs.

Significance and auspicious/inauspicious flags are drawn from classical texts (Muhurta Chintamani, Brihat Samhita, the Puranas and others) and cited inline — we never assert an effect a text does not state.

Choghadiya - Chicago, 24 March 2027

On Wednesday, the 24th of March 2027, the Vedic calendar in Chicago carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 6:48 AM and dipping below the horizon at 7:05 PM, bringing 12 hours 17 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Tritiya of the Krishna fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Chitra. The day carries the Vyaghata yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2027-03-24. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 5:12 AM to 6:00 AM.

In Chicago, Rahu Kala runs from 12:57 PM to 2:29 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Wednesday is North; new ventures toward the North are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Labh choghadiya, running 6:48 AM to 8:20 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Chitra nakshatra is under the lordship of Mars, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with Chicago's horizon.

Why is sunrise in Chicago on 24 March 2027 at 6:48 AM?
