Guide
Purohit Ji
Purohit Ji is your online pandit for timing and observance: Panchang, Shubh Muhurat, festivals, vrat, and daily sadhana. The same pandit ji guidance Indian families have always relied on, available whenever you need it and adjusted to your local time-zone.
What you can do
- Read Panchang elements like tithi, nakshatra, yoga, and karana.
- Find Muhurat windows for ceremonies, travel, purchases, and milestones.
- Plan festival observance with local time-zone context.
- Connect ritual questions to the family profiles saved in the app.
Purohit uses timing data as a decision layer, making Panchang, festival calendars, and Muhurat windows practical for work, school, travel, and household schedules.
How it works
-
1. Set the location
Use your current city so sunrise, tithi, and festival timing match where you live.
-
2. Check the day
Read Panchang quality and inauspicious windows before planning important actions.
-
3. Choose a window
Use Muhurat for ceremonies, purchases, travel, and family milestones.
From calendar data to a decision
Purohit turns timing data into guidance that works around real family schedules.
Built for local timing
Panchang and festival guidance is strongest when it respects the user's location instead of assuming a default India calendar.

Common questions
Is Purohit Ji the same as a pandit ji?
Yes. Purohit and pandit are interchangeable terms for a Hindu priest who guides families through ritual, Panchang, and Muhurat decisions. Purohit Ji is the AI pandit ji persona inside Sanatani.ai.
Why does location matter for Panchang?
Tithi, sunrise, sunset, and observance windows depend on local time, especially for families outside India.
Which tools belong with Purohit?
Panchang, Muhurat, Festivals, and Aarati are the main Purohit tools.
