The 27 Nakshatras and the Days Each Named, 2026–2027
A panchang names each day by the five limbs running at sunrise. Read the other way, each nakshatra has a set of days it named. Over the 730 sunrises of 2026 and 2027 at New Delhi, the counts below sum to exactly 730; a nakshatra that began after one sunrise and ended before the next named no day, which is why the counts are not all equal.

The other limbs: tithis and yogas. For any single day, the daily panchang; for how the limbs are read, reading the panchang.
