What's New

- This version replaces Nov 2008 and Dec 2008 with Nov 2009 and Dec 2009. Hence, all 12 months now belongs to 2009.



- The flipped view includes two more additional Panchang details, Yog and Karan, for each day.



- This version adopts the prevailing philosophy that there are normal days and auspicious days. Hence, the "Festivals" screen now includes list of festivals and list of Shubh days only.
