  ```text theme={null}
  I would like you to create a web application that displays today's
  panchang in a layout that is beautiful and easy to read displaying
  names in both romanized Sanskrit and Devanagari.

  Here are the tools you should use:
  - Please create an express application that uses server-side rendering
  to render a front-end application built using React and Tailwind.
  - The front-end application should display today's panchang data.
  - The server should use the Kaalchakra REST API to query for daily
  panchang data. Please read the docs at
  https://docs.kaalchakra.dev/api-reference/overview and
  https://docs.kaalchakra.dev/api-reference/endpoint/get.md to learn how
  to use today's panchang API endpoint at
  https://api.kaalchakra.dev/v1/panchang/current_day.
  - Requests to the API will need to include my Kaalchakra API key
  `$KAALCHAKRA_API_KEY` as the value of the `"auth"` query parameter.
  Be sure to store the token in an environment variable instead of
  hardcoding it.
