Accuracy
Calculation Accuracy
How to interpret Samvat Panchang accuracy, location sensitivity, and regional festival differences.
What Accuracy Means Here
Panchang accuracy means applying the stated astronomical rule consistently for a date and location. It does not mean every tradition will observe every event on the same civil date.
Tithi, nakshatra, sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and muhurat can shift by location. Diaspora users should use their local city when planning observances.
Accuracy Is Rule Plus Assumption
A date is only meaningful when the assumptions are known: city, timezone, lunar month system, tithi priority, and the observance moment.
Samvat should make those assumptions visible so users can understand whether a result is a calculation issue, a regional variant, or a tradition choice.
Known Boundaries
The festival calendar is currently India-baseline. City-sensitive festival variants and tradition-specific rules should be added as separate variants rather than hidden in one generic date.
Astrology features should only be added when the calculation source and assumptions are visible enough for users to inspect.
How to Use Samvat Safely
Use Samvat to understand the Panchang evidence and shortlist dates. For major samskaras, temple observances, or family ceremonies, compare with your regional Panchang and family tradition.
This approach keeps the astronomical foundation useful without pretending that software should erase living religious practice.
