About us

Deshpande Panchang

Deshpande Panchang is the 1st Soorya-Siddhanteeya panchang published in Maharashtra and the only pure Soorya-Siddhanteeya panchang in India. It is created by Mr. Gaurav Deshpande from Pune, Maharashtra, India. Gaurav is a Software Engineer by profession but since childhood has had an acute interest in Vaidik Granthaas and astrology.

Panchang means ‘Panch Ang’ (Sanskrit). Tithi, Waar, Nakshatra, Yog and Karan are the main five angas (elements) of it.

While studying this, he realized that there are mainly two types of Panchang creation methods in Hindu tradition. One is ‘Soorya-siddhanteeya panchang’ — followed since ancient times — and another is ‘Drik Panchang’, which has a history of not more than 50 to 60 years.
