Sadas in progress

To perform our rituals according to our religious tradition, five elements, namely, Thithi, Varam, Nakshatram, Yogam and Karanam, have to be taken into account to fix an auspicious time, day etc. Particulars of these elements are worked out by the learned pundits according to Hindu Culture, based on the Vedas and Sastras, and published in a self-contained book called Panchangam.
