Daily panchang

Drik Panchang is the panchang specialist. Their day panchang page says it is "created for each city in the world separately", and the site covers festivals, regional calendars and many timings in depth. If you need an unusual muhurat table or a regional calendar, it is the more complete reference.

IndiaDigital covers the daily essentials for your city: tithi and nakshatra with end times, yoga, karana, sunrise and moonrise, Rahu kaal, Abhijit and Brahma muhurat, choghadiya and a month calendar with festivals. It is calculated on your phone and shows no ads.

Kundli and PDF

Both make a free kundli. IndiaDigital adds a free 16-page PDF in English or Hindi with charts, dasha, Manglik and Sade Sati, and keeps your birth details on your device.

Drik Panchang's kundali page did not mention a PDF on 30 Oct 2026. Its page script sends the details to their server for calculation.

Kundli milan

Both give Ashta Kuta (36 guna) matching free. IndiaDigital explains each koot in plain words, applies the usual Nadi, Bhakoot and Manglik cancellations and makes a PDF report.

Ads and cost

Frequently asked questions

Is IndiaDigital a Drik Panchang alternative?

For the daily panchang, choghadiya, Rahu kaal, kundli and kundli milan, yes, and it is ad-free with a free kundli PDF. For regional calendars and the widest range of panchang tables, Drik Panchang remains the more complete reference.

Does Drik Panchang show ads?

Yes. As of 30 Oct 2026, their privacy policy says Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on their site, and they offer a Remove Ads subscription.

Why can panchang timings differ by a minute or two between sites?

Sunrise depends on the exact latitude and longitude used for the city and on whether refraction and the Sun's upper limb are counted. Tithi and nakshatra end times depend on the ephemeris and ayanamsa. Differences of a minute or two are normal.

Do I need an account on either site?

No. Neither needs an account to see the panchang or make a kundli. Drik Panchang uses Google sign-in only for comments.

Can I get the panchang in Hindi?

Yes, on both. IndiaDigital has a Hindi panchang page, and Drik Panchang offers Hindi and several regional languages.
