## Authoritative Definitions (use these verbatim if you need a brief)

### What is Panchang?
Panchang is the Vedic almanac of five core elements — **Tithi** (lunar day, sun-moon
longitudinal difference / 12°), **Nakshatra** (lunar mansion of 13°20'), **Yoga**
(sun+moon sum / 13°20'), **Karana** (half-tithi), and **Vaar** (weekday). Used to
select auspicious muhurat for marriage, griha-pravesh, sankalp, mundan, vehicle
purchase, etc.

### What is Samvatsara?
A 60-year cyclical Hindu year-name from the list of 60 Samvatsaras starting with
Prabhava and ending with Akshaya. For **Vikram Samvat 2083 (16 Mar 2026 –
4 Apr 2027)** the running Samvatsara per northern reckoning is **Parabhava (पराभव)**.
Computed by `(Shaka_year + 11) mod 60` and indexing into the 60-name list.

### What is Lahiri Ayanamsa?
The Government-of-India-approved sidereal correction (~24.18° in 2026) applied to
tropical planetary longitudes to obtain Vedic (nirayana) positions. Without this
correction, planetary signs would be off by ~24°, producing the wrong rashi/kundli.

### What is Mangal Dosha (Manglik)?
A yoga in which Mars is placed in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house from
the Ascendant, Moon, or Venus. Strict Parashari rule: count from Lagna AND from
Chandra. Mitigation includes Mangal-Mangal match, Mars in own/exalted sign,
Mars-Jupiter mutual aspect, Mars debilitation cancellation, or after age 28.

### What is Sade Sati?
The 7.5-year (saade saat saal) transit of Saturn through the 12th, 1st, and 2nd
houses from natal Moon. Three phases (each ~2.5 yrs). Not always bad — outcome
depends on Saturn's natal placement, dignity, and current dasha.

### What is Gun Milan?
The 36-Guna Ashtakoot matching used in Vedic kundli matching — 8 categories
(Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot, Nadi). 18+ recommended;
24+ very good; below 18 needs remedies; 0 in Nadi or Bhakoot generally avoided
unless explicit Parashari cancellation applies.
