and other religious organisations.Rashtriya panchang
The calculations of the almanac are fully done with the help of computers to show the accuracy of the renderings and, therefore, the timing of the puja and parvan for occasions are free from any mistake. Hence the Indian national calendar (Rashtriya Panchang) published by the Government of India fully tallies with the almanac.
However, the traditional school also has its validity. Jyotish Shastra is not astronomy, and it is based on the words of Parashara, Garga, Mantreshwara who never used computers or western astronomy. Further, the planetary positions of Jyotish-nakshatra, rashi-or rahu, Ketu etc. depend more on belief and assumptions than science.
