Two states are bordering two ends of the city Jamshedpur, one of the most important city of the state Jharkhand. Located at the southern portion of Jharkhand, some edges of the city are covered by Odisha and some by west Bengal. Around 224 km2 of land at the coordinate of 22°4733N 86°1103E specifies the location of Jamshedpur, which has a natural elevation of 159 meter or 522 ft above the sea. The presence of the Dalma Ukam and Jadugoda- Musabani hills, with dense forest shows the geographical feature of Jamshedpur locality. Apart from this the contribution of the Chota Nagpur plateau in the formation of rocks of the city is also part of the geographical analysis. With Subarnarekha, as one of the main river of Jamshedpur, this city is located at the confluence of these two rivers Subarnarekha and Kharkai.
Hinduism, Islamism, Sikhism, Christianity Jainism and Buddhism are prevailing in the city in 78.67%, 14.95%, 1.12%, 2.24%, 0.16% and 0.09% of the total population.
About the Panchang
The Panchang (Panjika) is the Hindu almanac. It is used to choose auspicious times (shubh muhurat) for important events
— marriage, naming a baby, starting a business or entering a new home — and to identify inauspicious periods
that are best avoided. Festivals and pujas are also scheduled by it: Lakshmi Puja falls on Purnima tithi, for example,
and Durga Puja on Saptami.
The name means “five limbs”: Tithi, Vara (weekday), Nakshatra,
Yoga and Karana. This page calculates them for the chosen city and date, together with
sunrise, sunset and the Moon's phase. Timings depend on the location, so they differ from city to city.
Tithi and Paksha
A tithi is the time it takes for the Moon to move 12° ahead of the Sun, so there are 30 tithis in a lunar month:
Pratipada, Dwitiya, Tritiya, Chaturthi, Panchami, Shashthi, Saptami, Ashtami, Navami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Dwadashi,
Trayodashi, Chaturdashi and Purnima in the bright half (Shukla Paksha), and the same fifteen ending in Amavasya in the
dark half (Krishna Paksha).
Karana and Yoga
Each tithi has two karanas: the movable Bava, Balava, Kaulava, Taitila, Gara, Vanija and Vishti (Bhadra), and the fixed
Shakuni, Chatushpada, Naga and Kimstughna. There are 27 yogas, found by adding the longitudes of the Sun and Moon and
dividing by 13°20′: Vishkambha, Priti, Ayushman, Saubhagya, Shobhana, Atiganda, Sukarma, Dhriti, Shoola,
Ganda, Vriddhi, Dhruva, Vyaghata, Harshana, Vajra, Siddhi, Vyatipata, Variyana, Parigha, Shiva, Siddha, Sadhya, Shubha,
Shukla, Brahma, Indra and Vaidhriti.
Before starting a journey or anything important, prefer the auspicious times above and avoid Rahu Kaal,
Yamaganda, Gulika Kaal, Dur Muhurta and Mrityu periods.
