Panchangam

Panchangam is a type of calendar used in India that tells people important information about the movements of the sun, moon, planets, and stars.

Let's break it down simply. Imagine you have a very special box. Inside this box, there are a bunch of papers with very important information about the sky. This box is a panchangam.

Now imagine that you're a farmer who needs to grow crops. You look at your panchangam to figure out when it's best to plant and harvest your crops. The panchangam tells you when the sun will rise and set, when it's going to rain, and when the planets and stars will be in a certain position.

But why is this important? Well, the position of the stars and planets can have an impact on many things, including the weather and how well your crops will grow. This is why knowing when certain astronomical events will occur is so important for farmers and other people who depend on the land.

So, panchangam is basically a tool that tells people when certain celestial events will happen and how they might impact their daily lives.
