Panchang
The Hindu almanac: the daily tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and weekday from which muhurats are chosen.
The panchang ("five limbs") lists the five daily astrological measures and the festivals, eclipses and auspicious periods of the year. Regional panchangs differ slightly, and families usually follow the one their priest uses.
In matchmaking it comes up twice: when the wedding date is chosen and, for some families, when the first meeting is.
