Karana Calculator
Today's half-tithi period and its classical nature.
A Karana is half of a Tithi — the Moon moving 6° further ahead of the Sun — giving 60 Karanas across a lunar month, though only 11 distinct names are used (4 fixed Karanas that occur once each per month, and 7 movable ones that repeat through the rest). Enter your city to see today's Karana.

Frequently asked questions
How many Karanas are there in a month, and how many names?
60 Karana periods occur across a lunar month, but only 11 distinct names exist: 4 fixed Karanas (each occurring exactly once per month) and 7 movable Karanas (which repeat, cycling 8 times, to fill the remaining 56 periods).
Why does a day sometimes show two Karanas?
Because each Karana is only half a Tithi (roughly 10-13 hours), most solar days span parts of two consecutive Karanas — that's the normal case, not an error.
