Ah, this question makes me smile. When my athai in Coimbatore calls to tell me the right day for a thread ceremony, she is talking about tithi, vara, nakshatram, yoga, and karana—these are your five limbs. But here in California, my life says otherwise. For me, the real "panchang" is the date my next Amazon order must ship by, the due date for the school project my daughter weaves borders for, the day the yarn supplier's invoice is due, the helper's payday, and finally, the one auspicious date my family back home has picked for a video call to show the new peacock design.
