Why the days are named after grahas
the hora is what explains itDivide a day into twenty-four horas and give the first one to the day’s own graha. The rest follow the Chaldean order: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon. Twenty-four horas later you reach the graha that rules the next day. Start on Sunday with the Sun, and the sequence gives Monday to the Moon, Tuesday to Mars, and so on to Saturday. The week comes out of the hora order, not the other way round, and you can check it on today’s horas.

A panchang is the same for a whole city.
Your kundli is not. Cast it free, or ask one of 24 astrologers which of these hours is right for what you are planning. You pay by the minute.
