Bengal's regional almanac tradition: civil dates, tithi, nakshatra and Moon rashi with the calendar convention named.

Facts & conventions · almanac structure

Five limbs, then a whole regional almanac

The name Panchanga points to five calendrical quantities. A Bengali Panjika commonly places those beside planetary positions, observances, ritual times and other regional material.

The five limbs

TithiThe lunar day: one of thirty 12-degree divisions of the Moon–Sun elongation.
VaraThe weekday.
NakshatraThe Moon's position among twenty-seven equal sidereal sectors.
YogaA separate angular sum of the sidereal Sun and Moon, divided into twenty-seven parts.
KaranaHalf of a tithi.

Why this is not a new personality zodiac

The Panjika is evidence for a rich Bengali calendrical and astrological practice. It is not evidence for twelve newly branded birthday characters. Bodhastra therefore exposes the actual calendar quantities and links Moon rashi to the broader Jyotisha foundation →

Bodhastra documents what astrological traditions have said, and when they started saying it. It is presented as cultural history and entertainment. Nothing here is medical, psychological, financial or predictive advice, and nothing here is a claim about what will happen to you.
