Which cities does it work for?

The city you choose. Mihira uses that city’s sunrise, sunset and time zone, so the times match the place where you live. You can change the city at any time.

Yes. Everything in Mihira is free during the beta, with no ads.

Amanta or Purnimanta?

Both. Choose the month naming your family uses.

Which traditions does it follow?

Where traditions differ, Mihira shows the common date first, says which tradition it follows, and notes the alternative. Customs without a text, such as Rahu Kalam, are labelled “Traditional practice”.

Does it tell my horoscope or sell remedies?

No. Mihira shows timing from the panchang and the reasons behind it. It makes no predictions and sells no gemstones, pujas or remedies.

Do I need an account?

No. The panchang is calculated on your iPhone, and there is no account to make.

How do I say “Mihira”?

mi-hi-ra, three short syllables. मिहिर is a Sanskrit word for the sun.

Terms of Use

The rules for using the Mihira app and this website.

This website (the “Site”) and the Mihira iPhone app (the “App”; together with the Site, the “Service”) are owned and operated by Mihira LLP, a limited liability partnership registered in India (“we”, “us” or “our”).

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the Service. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service. If you download the App from Apple’s App Store, Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies, and Section 9 explains how the two fit together.

1. What Mihira is, and what it is not

1.1 Information, not advice. Mihira calculates panchang elements, festival and fasting dates, and traditional time periods for the city you choose, and shows the tradition or text each rule follows. It is a reference tool. It does not give religious, astrological, medical, financial or legal advice, and it does not predict the future.

1.2 Traditions differ. Regions, families and temples follow different calendars and rules, and their dates can differ from Mihira’s. For ceremonies and important decisions, please confirm with your priest, family or community. You are responsible for how you use the information the Service shows.

1.3 Calculations. We work to make every calculation correct, but times depend on your selected city and on astronomical models, and they may contain errors. See Section 6.

2. Access to the Service

2.1 License. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your own personal, non-commercial purposes.

2.2 Restrictions. You may not: (i) license, sell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute or commercially exploit the Service or any content on it; (ii) modify, create derivative works from, disassemble, reverse-compile or reverse-engineer any part of the Service, except where the law allows this despite this restriction; (iii) access the Service in order to build a similar or competing product or service; or (iv) copy, reproduce, distribute, republish, download, display, post or transmit any part of the Service except as these Terms expressly permit. All copyright and proprietary notices must be kept intact on any copies you are permitted to make.

2.3 Beta and price. Mihira is free during its beta. If we later offer paid features, we will show the price in the App Store before you pay, and nothing will be charged without your confirmation through Apple.

2.4 Changes to the Service. We may modify, suspend or discontinue the Service, or any part of it, at any time, with or without notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for any such modification, suspension or discontinuation.

2.5 No support obligation. We are happy to hear from you, but we have no obligation to provide support or maintenance for the Service.

2.6 Ownership. All intellectual property rights in the Service and its content, including copyrights, trademarks and the Mihira name and logo, belong to us or our suppliers. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you, except for the limited license in Section 2.1. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

2.7 Feedback. If you share feedback or suggestions about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, fully paid, royalty-free license to use that feedback in any manner and for any purpose, without attribution. Please do not send feedback you consider confidential.

3. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. In short, the App collects no personal information and keeps your data on your iPhone. If these Terms and the Privacy Policy conflict about personal data, the Privacy Policy controls. The Site’s use of cookies and similar technologies is described in our Cookie Notice.

4. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims and reasonable costs, including legal fees, arising out of (i) your misuse of the Service, (ii) your violation of these Terms, or (iii) your violation of any applicable law. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you promptly of any such claim.

5. Third-party services

The Service may link to or rely on third-party services, such as Apple’s App Store, iOS Calendar and Google Fonts (“Third-Party Services”). We do not control or take responsibility for them. Their own terms and privacy practices apply to your use of them.

6. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR ITS CALCULATIONS WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR SUITABLE FOR ANY RELIGIOUS OR CEREMONIAL PURPOSE. WHERE APPLICABLE LAW REQUIRES WARRANTIES, THEY ARE LIMITED TO 90 DAYS FROM YOUR FIRST USE.

7. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (A) WE AND OUR SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, COSTS OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS, OR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE, INCLUDING DECISIONS MADE IN RELIANCE ON ITS TIMES OR DATES; AND (B) OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING UNDER THESE TERMS IS CAPPED AT THE GREATER OF (i) USD 50 (OR ITS EQUIVALENT IN YOUR LOCAL CURRENCY) AND (ii) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE SIX MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. MULTIPLE CLAIMS DO NOT INCREASE THIS CAP.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or any rights you have as a consumer under the mandatory laws of the country where you live.

8. Term and termination

These Terms apply while you use the Service. You may stop at any time by deleting the App and leaving the Site. We may suspend or end your access if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms. Sections 2.2, 2.6, 2.7 and 3 to 11 survive termination.

9. Apple App Store terms

If you downloaded the App from the App Store: these Terms are between you and us, not Apple, and we, not Apple, are responsible for the App. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, which may refund any purchase price; to the extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. We, not Apple, are responsible for handling any claims relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that it fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, consumer protection claims and intellectual property infringement claims. You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo and are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

11. General

11.1 Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will post a notice on the Site. Your continued use of the Service after the change means you accept the updated Terms.

11.2 Resolving disputes. If you have a concern, please contact us first at support@mihira.app and we will try in good faith to resolve it within 60 days.

11.3 Governing law and courts. These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or the Service are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The courts at Hyderabad, Telangana, have exclusive jurisdiction, except that if you are a consumer you may also bring a claim in the courts where you live where your local law gives you that right.

11.7 Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Notice, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary and the rest will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. “Including” means “including without limitation”. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them freely.
