2. About the Panchang - Hindu Vedic Calendar,
there are 60 years, each having a name for
itself. The name also has a meaning and
suggests what is in store for us in that year.
The year PRAMADHI, that has just
concluded, means wrong or mistakes. It is
likely that many wrong events may have
happened during the year. The ensuing year,
VIKRAMA, means chivalry or valour. This year
will offer many opportunities to undo the
wrong doings of the previous year.

tabulations of positions of Sun,
Moon, and other planets for every
day of the year on a fixed place
(longitude, latitude) and time of day
(in 24-hour format IST). The users
calculate the remaining data using
their relative difference from this
fixed place and time.
