About Samvat
Samvat is a Hindu Panchang and calendar planning app for daily tithi lookup, festivals, muhurat, and learning the astronomical logic behind Hindu time.
Purpose
Samvat helps Hindus in India and across the world stay aligned with Hindu time: daily Panchang, tithi, nakshatra, muhurat, festival dates, and calendar planning by location.
The product is built to show not only what date an observance falls on, but why it falls there according to tithi, paksha, sunrise, and planetary positions.
Who It Is For
Samvat is for daily users who want to check today's Panchang quickly, families planning festivals and vratas, and Hindus in the diaspora who need local sunrise and timezone-aware context.
It is also for learners who want Hindu calendar knowledge to feel precise and inspectable rather than mysterious or reduced to a static date table.
What Makes Samvat Different
Every useful page should expose the reason behind the date: the tithi, paksha, nakshatra, rule moment, or location assumption that produced it.
That matters because Hindu time is not just a list of holidays. It is a living astronomical system where the Sun, Moon, and local day shape ritual timing.
What Samvat Is Not
Samvat is not a substitute for a family priest, regional Panchang authority, or local temple tradition. Hindu observances can differ by sampradaya, region, city, and family practice.
The goal is transparent calculation and education, with room for future astrology features based on explicit mathematical foundations.
