A Jain Panchang for daily calendar reference — now with Family, Sangh and Jain business discovery

Jain Panchang has served the Jain community since 2013 as a practical digital companion for Jain Calendar information. Users come to the app for Jain Tithi, Jain month, Paksha/Sud-Vad context, sunrise and sunset, Navkarshi Times, Choghadiya, Hora, Nakshatra, Kalyanak, Kshay/Vruddhi Tithi, Kamdi Kal, Pacchakhan resources and other day-to-day references. The website keeps detailed guides for these subjects so a search for Jain Calendar, Jain Tithi today, Navkarshi time or a specialist Jain Panchang term can lead to explanatory content rather than a thin download page.

The app also recognizes that Jain traditions are not identical in every place or sect. Calendar interpretation, vrata rules and observance practices may vary across Shwetambar, Digambar, Sthanakwasi, gachh traditions and local Sanghs. Jain Panchang is therefore a practical reference, not a replacement for the Panchang or guidance accepted by a user’s Guru, Sangh or tradition. Where a subject can vary, our guides aim to explain the concept without presenting one local practice as universal Jain doctrine.

Jain Calendar, Jain Tithi and sunrise-linked daily timings

A Gregorian date tells only part of the story for many Jain observances. Tithi gives the lunar-day context used for numerous fasts, festivals, Kalyanaks and recurring religious occasions. Sunrise can also matter when determining how a Tithi is represented for the day, and sunrise-linked references such as Navkarshi naturally change with date and location. The Jain Calendar section explains Tithi, Jain month, Kshay and Vruddhi, and related concepts in detail, while separate Navkarshi, Choghadiya, Hora and Nakshatra pages give users focused reference material.

These traditional-reference features remain the core of Jain Panchang. Version 2026.6 does not place an account wall in front of the Jain Calendar. A user who wants to check the Panchang should be able to do that without first creating a social profile or business account.

Ekta Setu for Jain Family and Jain Sangh coordination

Ekta Setu adds optional community tools around the calendar. Jain Family provides an approved private membership context for shared family events and reminders. Jain Sangh provides a separate community context for Sangh events and updates. Personal reminders remain separate again. Keeping these three sources distinct helps users understand whether an event belongs only to them, to an approved Family, or to a Sangh.

Supported event reminders use a prominent alarm-style experience with Snooze and Dismiss actions rather than relying only on a small passive notification. Shared events can also be synchronized so changes in Family or Sangh membership and event information can be reconciled on the device. The event tools help people remember what matters; they do not determine the religious validity of a Jain Tithi or observance.

JP ID: optional identity for features that actually need an account

JP ID is the account layer used where Jain Panchang needs persistent identity — for example, approved Family membership, certain Sangh interactions, recovery, or ownership/management actions in JBD. JP ID is not required for ordinary Jain Panchang and Jain Calendar use, and it is not required simply to search the Jain Business Directory. It is a technical account identifier, not a certificate of sect, religious status or community standing.

Jain Business Directory for Jain businesses, entrepreneurs, services and products

The new Jain Business Directory expands Jain Panchang into a practical discovery tool for the Jain community. People can search for Jain businesses, Jain entrepreneurs, professionals, services and products, then open a business profile for available contact, description, image and location information. Business owners can register or claim listings using JP ID, and user-submitted business/product content is moderated. Reporting provides a route for users to flag information that needs review.

JBD is a directory, not a guarantee or religious certification of a business. Users should independently verify details that matter to a purchase or commercial decision. The aim is to make Jain business information easier to discover and maintain while preserving clear boundaries between Panchang data, community events and user-generated business content.

One evolving Jain app, without forcing every feature on every user

The direction is deliberately modular: use Jain Calendar and Tithi when that is all you need; use Family for private shared events; use Sangh for community updates; use JBD to discover Jain businesses; use JP ID only when an account-linked action needs it. That structure allows Jain Panchang to grow beyond a calendar while continuing to respect the simple everyday use that brought many users to the app in the first place.
