Shubh kaal: the auspicious time.
शुभ काल — मंगलमय समय
Families have always checked the panchang before a journey, a puja, a purchase or a new beginning. The old almanacs were accurate but hard to read. Newer apps are easy to read but generic, cluttered with ads and often wrong for your city. We wanted one that is accurate, personal and plain-spoken, and that the whole family can use.
What we hold ourselves to
Accurate to your sunrise
Timings are worked out from your location's actual sunrise (drik ganita), using VSOP87 planetary theory and Meeus' astronomical algorithms, and checked against published daily panchangs. That's why Rahu Kaal in Pune differs from Rahu Kaal in Patna.
Personal, not generic
Your reading starts from your own birth star and chart, not a sun-sign column written for millions of people at once.
Explained, not decreed
Each line shows the rule it came from. When the app doesn't have enough detail, it says so rather than guessing.
For the whole family
Parents, children and grandparents each get their own chart and day, and the app can remember those who have passed for their shraddha tithi.
Quiet by design
No ads and no account. Your family's details are kept on your phone.
In your language
Every screen and every explanation in Hindi and English, so the whole household can use it.
