The Durban Panchang is a Hindu calendar that is widely used in the South African Hindu community. It is based on the traditional Indian Panchang, but has been adapted to reflect the local culture and customs of South Africa. The Panchang is an important tool for determining auspicious dates and times for various events, such as weddings, births, and other ceremonies. Priests play a crucial role in the Durban Panchang, as they are responsible for calculating and interpreting the Panchang, and for helping families to plan and prepare for important events.
