🕰️ Sanatan Cosmic Clock (Overview)

What it is How it works What you get

A unified dashboard of Vedic timekeeping and modern astronomy — dials for Tithi, Nakshatra, Muhurta, Hora, Choghadiya, Rahu/Gulika/Yamaganda, Moon Phase, Sun–Moon path, Constellation Map, Russell Energy Clock, and daily events.

⚙️ How it works
Combines IST‑normalized timing with solar–lunar geometry. Positions are converted to local horizontal coordinates for direction rings; Panchang layers derive from Sun–Moon angles and sunrise/sunset.
✓ What you get:
  • One place to read the day in context
  • Bridges ritual timing with practical planning
  • Beautiful, comprehensible visuals

🕰️ Tithi Clock (तिथि घड़ी)

What it is How it works What you get

Shows the current lunar day (Tithi) and its progress within the 12° arc. Identifies Shukla/Krishna paksha and bordering transitions.

⚙️ How it works
Computes Sun–Moon geocentric elongation; each 12° is one Tithi. Paksha flips at New/Full Moon. Progress bar tracks fraction of the active 12° span.
✓ What you get:
  • Ritual/fasting alignment by Tithi
  • Business/personal tasks synced to lunar rhythm
  • Clear start/end of Tithi transitions

🕰️ Muhurta Clock (मुहूर्त घड़ी)

What it is How it works What you get

A stripe/dial showing the current and upcoming Muhurtas (~48 min blocks) anchored to local sunrise/sunset.

⚙️ How it works
Day is split into 30 equal Muhurtas; a moving “Now” indicator slides across, with special labels for Brahma‑muhūrta etc.
✓ What you get:
  • Action timing (start/avoid)
  • Meditation & study windows
  • Simple glance of next block

🕰️ Hora Clock (होरा घड़ी)

What it is How it works What you get

Displays the ruling planetary hour (Hora) cycling through day & night (12+12 parts).

⚙️ How it works
From sunrise and sunset, splits daytime/nighttime into 12 parts; weekday governs the Hora sequence (Sun→Venus→Mercury→Moon→Saturn→Jupiter→Mars → repeat).
✓ What you get:
  • Pick hours suited to wealth/study/courage etc.
  • Quick “who rules now” awareness
  • Bridges Vedic timing with habits

🕰️ Choghadiya (चौघड़िया)

What it is How it works What you get

Day and night are divided into equal seven‑slot cycles labelled Amrit, Shubh, Labh (generally auspicious), Char (neutral), and Kaal, Rog, Udveg (generally inauspicious).

⚙️ How it works
Uses local sunrise/sunset to compute day/night durations; divides each into seven equal parts and applies weekday‑dependent sequences for labels.
✓ What you get:
  • Quick auspiciousness scan
  • Alternative to Muhurta/Hora at a glance
  • Handy for business openings & travel

🕰️ Sun–Moon Path (Direction & Altitude)

What it is How it works What you get

Arcs show today’s apparent paths of Sun and Moon with sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moonset markers; a compass ring indicates azimuth (N‑E‑S‑W).

⚙️ How it works
Converts RA/Dec (or ecliptic lon/lat) to local horizontal coordinates (azimuth/altitude) per IST time; plots arcs with event markers.
✓ What you get:
  • Orientation for rituals/meditation facing
  • Photography & stargazing setup
  • Weather‑light planning for outdoor tasks

🕰️ Brahm‑AI Daily Analysis

What it is How it works What you get

A concise, human‑readable brief generated from the clocks: practical suggestions aligned with Tithi, Nakshatra, Hora, Choghadiya, and planetary events.

⚙️ How it works
Heuristics weigh auspiciousness windows, lunar rhythm, and current sky geometry; outputs short tips for focus, communication, finance, travel, and wellness.
✓ What you get:
  • Actionable daily cues in plain language
  • Bridges tradition with modern routines
  • Optional tone: devotional, neutral, or business

🕰️ Moon Phase & Illumination

What it is How it works What you get

Realistic disk with illuminated fraction and terminator rotation matching Sun–Moon geometry; includes phase name and percent.

⚙️ How it works
Uses phase angle from Sun–Moon elongation; maps to illumination percentage; rotates shadow mask by position angle for current IST.
✓ What you get:
  • Vrat/ritual planning
  • Tide/mood correlations
  • Astro‑photography timing

🕰️ Rahu‑Kaal • Gulika‑Kaal • Yamaganda

What it is How it works What you get

Traditional inauspicious/neutral windows within daytime derived from weekday‑dependent segments.

⚙️ How it works
Daylight is split into eight equal parts from sunrise; fixed weekday rules assign Rahu, Yamaganda, and Gulika segments. Nighttime analogs may be shown where tradition uses them.
✓ What you get:
  • Avoid windows for new beginnings
  • Plan remedial or low‑risk tasks here
  • Cross‑check with Choghadiya/Hora

🕰️ Nakshatra Clock (नक्षत्र घड़ी)

What it is How it works What you get

Highlights current Nakshatra (13°20′ segments) and pada progression linked to the Moon’s ecliptic longitude.

⚙️ How it works
Moon longitude modulo 13°20′ picks the Nakshatra; dividing that span into four gives the current pada; optional deity/mantra metadata may be displayed.
✓ What you get:
  • Daily flavor & recommended activities
  • Meditation/mantra associations
  • Syncs well with Tithi & Hora

🕰️ Cosmic Events Today

What it is How it works What you get

Daily cards for conjunctions, oppositions, visibility windows, festivals/vrat, eclipses (when applicable).

⚙️ How it works
Fetches JSON/API feeds (positions & events) and merges with Panchang tables; times stamped in IST; optional location override.
✓ What you get:
  • One‑glance day planner
  • Context with phase/hora/nakshatra
  • Great for social/temple/community planning

🕰️ Star Constellation Map

What it is How it works What you get

A wide sky canvas with major constellations and asterisms; optionally rotated to your local sky.

⚙️ How it works
Uses ephemerides with a projection to draw stars and connect asterisms; rise/set paths aid visual orientation across N‑E‑S‑W.
✓ What you get:
  • Night viewing plan
  • Educational sky tour
  • Connects Nakshatra view to Western constellations

🕰️ Walter Russell Cosmic Clock

What it is How it works What you get

Conceptual energy quadrants mapping build → peak → release → rest phases across the day, aligned with solar rhythm.

⚙️ How it works
Maps local time blocks to four modes; overlays simple guidance icons/text for pacing, recovery, and focus; complements Hora/Muhurta.
✓ What you get:
  • Daily pacing framework
  • Habit stacking by quadrant
  • Wellness‑aligned scheduling

🧭 About Data & Timezone

Times are rendered in IST for Panchang consistency. Solar–lunar geometry uses standard astronomy approximations and public ephemerides. Visuals are UI‑grade (for daily use; not for professional navigation).

💡 Reading Tips
  • Use the highlighted “Now” markers to orient yourself quickly.
  • Arcs/bands visualize progress across day/night; labels force IST.
  • Combine Tithi + Nakshatra + Hora for richer daily planning.
