What are the five parts of a panchang?

Which Hindu month is it now?

It is Margashirsha, Shukla paksha, in Vikram Samvat 2086 (Shaka 1951). North Indian calendars count months purnimanta (ending on the full moon); much of South and West India counts amanta (ending on the new moon), so the month name can differ in the dark fortnight.
