This page-local spine keeps the complete localized pañchāṅga transparent: one city/kṣetra, one date, universal day-axis, city-day descent, muhūrta, choghaḍiyā, hora, JSON envelopes, jyotiṣa source layer, saṁskāra timing, calculator, tīrtha, Bindu, philosophy, and surrender boundary. It supports dharmic timing and source navigation; it does not make this city the universal center or replace qualified local guidance.
