Kāla: Lunar & Solar Calendar

About

Kāla is a complete panchāngam and calendar for India. See today's tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana to the minute, the day's Rāhu Kālam, Choghadiya and muhūrtas, and 60+ festivals from every regional tradition, all computed astronomically on your device, fully offline. Choose your tradition, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi or all of India, and see exactly the festivals and vratas you observe, with named Ekādashis, sankrāntis and a one-line meaning for each. A COMPLETE PANCHĀNGAM All five limbs from the real positions of the sun and moon: tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vāra, with end times solved to the minute, plus māsa (including adhika māsa), samvatsara, and the Śaka, Kali and Vikram years. Amānta or Purnimānta reckoning. Sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset for your place. THE DAY'S TIMINGS Rāhu Kālam, Yamaganda, Gulika and Abhijit. Choghadiya for day and night. Varjyam, Bhadra and Panchaka warnings. Ekādashi parana, Pradosh and Sankashti moonrise timings. FESTIVALS DONE PROPERLY Deepāvali, Śivarātri, Janmāṣṭamī, Gaṇeśa Chaturthi, Rāma Navamī, Vijayadaśamī and the other kāla-sensitive festivals are dated by the tithi at the correct kāla, the way published panchāngams do it. Monthly vrats too: Sankashti and Vinayaki Chaturthi, Pradosh, Masik Śivarātri and more. FIND YOUR NAKSHATRA Enter your birth date, time and place for your janma nakshatra and pada, moon and sun rāshi, and nakshatra lord. Save it as your birth star and Kāla reminds you each month. REGIONAL CALENDARS Tamil, Malayalam (Kollam) and Bengali (Bangābda) dates, each opening the month by its own saṅkrānti rule, alongside the Hindu lunisolar month. Switch the month grid to any of them with one tap. SEVEN CALENDARS, ONE GRID The Gregorian month never changes shape; lens chips re-annotate every day: Hindu Panchāngam, moon phases, Chinese lunisolar, Islamic Hijri, Julian, ancient Roman or Mayan, plus the regional Indian calendars. A true rendered moon on every day. WIDGETS, SIRI AND SHARING Today's tithi, moon and Rāhu Kālam on the home screen and lock screen, with the next festival counting down. Ask Siri for today's tithi, Rāhu Kālam, the next festival or the next Ekādashi. Share today's panchāngam to WhatsApp or any app, or copy a full Sankalpa. NEVER MISS A KEY DAY Pūrnima, Amāvāsya, Ekādashi, Sankrānti and festivals are flagged in the grid, with optional alerts, an evening reminder before each Ekādashi, and your birth-star day. IN YOUR LANGUAGE Switch languages inside the app, live: Telugu, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Assamese, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Nepali, Sinhala, Urdu, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay, Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Russian, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese. Indic languages show panchāngam names in their own script; right-to-left languages mirror the whole app. FOR EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE Allow location once and every timing is computed for your coordinates and shown in your timezone, or pick a preset city. Everything works offline. THREE MOODS Cosmic Night, a deep-space theme with luminous phases. Apple Minimal, a system look that disappears into the OS. Traditional Panchāngam, warm vermilion and turmeric like the printed family calendar. BUILT RIGHT - Native SwiftUI on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro - Verified astronomy engine (Meeus, Lahiri ayanāmsa), checked against reference ephemerides; timings typically within a few minutes of published panchāngams - Gentle interface sounds with an off switch, keyboard shortcuts on Mac and iPad - No accounts, no ads, no analytics. Nothing ever leaves your device. Kāla is informational; for ceremonial matters please confirm timings with a qualified source. https://eswarvenigalla.substack.com/p/privacy-policy-kala
