Hindu Calendar - Pujanook

Pujanook is a calm, accurate Hindu calendar: today's panchang, festival and fasting-day reminders, and the Bhagavad Gita with mantras – all calculated and stored on your phone. No ads, no subscription, no account, no data collection.

📅 TODAY'S PANCHANG
• Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana with exact end times, paksha, lunar month (Amanta or Purnimanta), Vikram Samvat and Shaka year
• Sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset for your city
• Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika, Abhijit and Brahma Muhurta
• Moon sign and Sun sign, Lahiri ayanamsa (Raman and KP available)
• Jump to any date, past or future

🎉 FESTIVALS AND FASTING DAYS
• Diwali, Holi, Navratri, Janmashtami, Ganesh Chaturthi, Raksha Bandhan, Maha Shivaratri, Makar Sankranti and more
• Every Ekadashi with its name, Purnima, Amavasya, Sankashti Chaturthi, Pradosh, Masik Shivaratri and Sankranti
• Dates follow the Smarta rules used by major panchangs, computed for your own city – so they are right for Delhi, Mumbai, London or New Jersey
• Month calendar with the tithi of every day

🔔 REMINDERS YOU CONTROL
• The evening before and the morning of each festival – choose which kinds you want
• Optional alert at the exact moment Ekadashi, Purnima or Amavasya begins
• Optional daily panchang summary at sunrise
• Every reminder can be switched off; nothing rings unless you ask

📖 BHAGAVAD GITA AND MANTRAS

• Gayatri Mantra, Mahamrityunjaya, Shanti Mantras and the Hare Krishna Mahamantra from the Vedas and Upanishads
• Adjustable text size, bookmarks, continue where you left off

📿 JAPA MALA
