* Too close to call (Rama Ekadashi: Jaipur, Chandigarh): Hari Vasara ends moments after the end of Pratahkal (the first fifth of the day), so a difference of 1–2 minutes between panchangs can put the parana in the morning or in the afternoon. No time is given here for these cities; ask your purohit or check your city’s panchang.

Differences of 1–2 minutes between panchangs are normal. How we calculate
