Editorial Approach
All panchangam data published on Nitya Panchangam is computed using the Swiss Ephemeris with Lahiri Ayanamsa. Pandit Sharma personally reviews every blog post for traditional accuracy and ensures the methodology aligns with the South Indian Amanta lunar tradition. The site's calculation engine is verified against Lahiri's Indian Ephemeris and the daily panchangam published by traditional Andhra mathams.

The panchangam data, muhurtam recommendations, and astrological remedies published on Nitya Panchangam are based on traditional Vedic methodology and are intended for general reference.
