Panchang API: Complete Hindu Calendar Data in Your App

The panchang is the Hindu almanac — the five limbs (pancha + anga) of a Vedic day. Building a panchang widget, muhurta finder, or Hindu calendar feature? One API call gets you everything.

The API call

Use today's date in doband the user's location in lat/lon. Panchang is location-specific because sunrise times vary.

const params = new URLSearchParams({
  api_key: 'vai_your_key',
  dob: '23/04/2026', tob: '12:00',  // today's date at noon for daily panchang
  lat: '19.0760', lon: '72.8777',    // Mumbai
  tz: '5.5'
})

const panchang = await fetch(
  `https://vedintelastroapi.com/api/v1/panchang/panchang?${params}`
).then(r => r.json())
