It computes key astrological elements including:

• Vara (Weekday)
• Tithi
• Nakshatra
• Yoga
• Karana
• Rashi (Moon sign)

A demo screen is included as a reference implementation.

Functional Behavior

The component accepts:

• Date & Time
• Timezone (IANA format)
• Latitude
• Longitude

On execution, it calculates and displays Panchang details for that exact moment and location.

Inputs

• Date & Time: Day, Month, Year, Hours, Minutes
• Timezone (IANA): e.g. Asia/Kolkata (in upcoming version)
• Latitude (°): Range −90 to 90 (in upcoming version)
• Longitude (°): Range −180 to 180 (in upcoming version)

Actions

• Calculate Panchang: Computes astro details
• Fill Demo Data: Loads sample values for quick testing

Output Fields

• Vara – Weekday (e.g., Thursday)
• Tithi – Name, number, completion %
• Nakshatra – Name and Pada
• Yoga – Name and number
• Karana – Name and number
• Rashi – Moon sign and degrees

Recommended Usage in OutSystems

1. Add Dependency

• Include the HinduCalendar component in your module
• Import exposed actions/blocks for Panchang calculation

2. Reuse UI

• Create a screen or block with inputs:
  • Date & Time
  • Timezone
  • Latitude / Longitude
• Add a Calculate button
• Optional: Add Fill Demo Data for testing

3. Implement Logic

On button click:

• Call the calculation action (e.g. CalculatePanchang)
• Pass:
  • DateTime

• Timezone (in upcoming version)

• Latitude (in upcoming version)
• Longitude (in upcoming version)

Bind returned values to UI fields.

4. Validation

Validate before execution:

• Date: valid calendar range
• Time: 0–23 (hours), 0–59 (minutes)
• Latitude: −90 to 90
• Longitude: −180 to 180
• Timezone: valid IANA string

Block execution if invalid.

5. Display Results

Bind output fields to UI labels:

• Vara
• Tithi
• Nakshatra
• Yoga
• Karana
• Rashi
