Online Day Panchang for Benghazi, Banghazi, Libya

Panchang is like time in Vedic Astrology. In Modern age people use Calendar and Clock to keep time but followers of Hinduism use Panchang for time keeping. Panchang tells not only Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise and Moonset but also auspicious and inauspicious times in a day.

In other words, Panchang is a Vedic clock, which is valid only for the geo location for which it has been built. Hence, Panchang is created for each city in the world separately.

The number of core elements in Panchang are five, namely Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana and Var i.e. weekday. With the help of these five elements and combining them with additional elements e.g. Lagna, Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise, duration of day and night, zodiac positions of Chandra and Surya, multiple auspicious and inauspicious Yogas are formed.

Some Yoga which doesn't occur daily but randomly on any day are also included in Panchang. Drik Panchang includes Bhadra, Panchaka, Ganda Mula, Vinchhudo, Dwipushkar Yoga, Tripushkar Yoga, Ravi Pushya Yoga, Guru Pushya Yoga, Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga, Amrit Siddhi Yoga, Ravi Yoga, Jwalamukhi Yoga, Aadal Yoga and Vidaal Yoga, which is collection of important auspicious and inauspicious Yoga in Dainika Panchang which occurs randomly on any day.
