Panchang by AstroTathya (WordPress plugin)

Show today's Hindu panchang and upcoming festivals for a chosen city on a WordPress site: tithi and nakshatra with their end times, sunrise and sunset, Rahu Kaal, Abhijit, and the coming vrats and festivals, in Hindi or English. It works as a block, a classic widget or a shortcode.

The plugin is the embed code only. The panchang is calculated by AstroTathya and shown in a sandboxed iframe from astrotathya.com. Each site needs a free site key, self-serve at astrotathya.com/panchang-widget; without one the plugin shows visitors nothing.
