Karanas

What is Karana

Panchang Karana is based upon the Lunar Day or Tithi. Actually, a Karan is just half of a Tithi. Technically, a Karan is said to be completed when the difference between the locations of the Moon and Sun crosses multiple of six degrees.

There are total 11 Karanas in Astrology; Bava, Baalav, Kaulav, Taitil, Gar, Vanij, Vishti, Shakuni, Chatushpad, Naag, Kinshtughna. The first 7 Karans are known as 'Char', which means variable and the last 4 Karnas are called as 'Sthir' which means constant. Last 4 are known as 'Sthir' because they always come in a specific period starting from the second half of Krishna Paksh (Dark Fortnight) Chaturdashi and ending with first half of Shukla Paksha (Bright Fortnight) Pratipada. First 7 Karanas are known as Char, because they come repeatedly, in a specific sequence, covering the period starting from the second half of Shukla Paksha (Bright Fortnight) Pratipada and ending with first half of Krishna Paksh (Dark Fortnight) Chaturdashi.
