How do I calculate whether my ancestor died under Magha Nakshatra?

To determine if your ancestor passed away under Magha Nakshatra, you need the exact date and approximate time of death. A pandit or jyotish (astrologer) can then look up the Moon’s position in the Hindu Panchang for that date. Magha Nakshatra spans from 0 to 13 degrees 20 minutes of Simha (Leo) Rashi. Several online Panchang tools also allow you to check the nakshatra for a given date. If you cannot determine this yourself, contact Prayag Pandits at +91-7754097777 — the pandit team can calculate it for you based on the death date.
