Jain Calendar and Jain Tithi
The calendar remains the heart of Jain Panchang. Users can view civil dates together with Jain month and Tithi context. The current-day highlight makes today easier to recognize at a glance.
Navkarshi Times
Navkarshi is linked to local sunrise, so its clock time changes by date and location. Jain Panchang provides location-aware timing support.
Choghadiya and Hora
Choghadiya and Hora are included as optional traditional timing references. They are broader Indic timing systems rather than uniquely Jain religious rules.
Nakshatra, Kalyanak, Kshay/Vruddhi and specialist references
The app includes additional reference pages for users who want more than a basic date grid.
Pacchakhan and audio resources
Pacchakhan resources provide a dedicated place for supported Jain religious audio/text references. Users should follow the form accepted within their own religious guidance.
Personal event reminders
Users can create personal events with date/time information and use the app’s reminder system. Supported reminders are designed to be more prominent than ordinary passive notifications.
Ekta Setu: Family and Sangh
Family is designed around approved private membership and shared family events. Sangh provides a separate community context for Sangh events and updates.
JP ID
JP ID provides persistent identity for features that need account-linked membership, recovery or management rights. It is not required for ordinary Panchang/calendar use or merely to browse JBD.
Jain Business Directory
JBD allows users to discover Jain businesses, services and products. Business owners can register, claim and manage listings with JP ID. Business and product submissions are moderated and users can report information for review.
Optional AI-assisted descriptions
Business owners can optionally request help drafting a business or product description. The AI-generated result is only a draft; the user decides whether to use it.
Light/dark presentation and ongoing performance work
The app supports light and dark presentation and continues to receive UI, performance and reliability improvements.
Built around everyday Jain Panchang use
The app’s broad feature set should not hide its primary purpose. Jain Panchang remains a daily reference for users who want Jain Calendar information and location-aware timings. The home experience is designed to surface the day clearly, while deeper pages allow users to study specific calendar or timing concepts when needed.
Jain Tithi, Jain month and calendar exceptions
Jain religious observances frequently depend on lunar Tithi rather than only the civil date. The app therefore gives Tithi and Jain month context a central place. Kshay and Vruddhi situations are important calendar exceptions and are explained in dedicated guides because a simple Gregorian-style date grid cannot communicate them completely.
Features for different levels of use
Some users want only today’s Tithi and Navkarshi. Others use Choghadiya or Hora, browse Kalyanak references, listen to supported Pacchakhan resources, maintain reminders, coordinate Family events, follow Sangh updates or explore JBD. Jain Panchang is structured so those layers can coexist without forcing every user into the same workflow.
Multilingual and cross-platform access
Jain Panchang supports major app experiences on Android and iPhone, and the website provides English, Hindi and Gujarati explanatory content. Terminology can vary by region and tradition, so transliterated Jain terms are often shown alongside familiar English interface words to make search and navigation easier.
Religious reference with appropriate caution
Digital tools are useful for planning and reference, but Jain traditions can differ in calendar interpretation and observance rules. For formal vrata, festival decisions and tradition-specific practice, users should follow the Panchang and guidance accepted by their Guru, Sangh or sect.
