Date

Panchang in Kolkata

This Panchang is for Kolkata only. Sharing a country (India) does not share a sunrise, so the table is not a national sheet.

Kolkata sits about 62 minutes of mean solar time east of Mumbai, so the sun's clock time here is typically earlier on India Standard Time (GMT+5:30).

What is Panchang?

Panchang means five limbs: Tithi (the lunar day, from the angle between Sun and Moon), Vara (the weekday), Nakshatra (the Moon’s mansion among 27), Yoga (a combined solar-lunar angle), and Karana (half of a Tithi). The names of the day are those limbs at local sunrise. Sunrise, moonrise, and the electional windows all belong to the place you enter, which is why a Panchang changes from city to city.
