All times are Kolkata local time (India Standard Time, UTC+5:30). Calculated from Kolkata's own sunrise with the Lahiri ayanamsa.
Start and end times are in Kolkata time. A vrat is usually kept on the day the Tithi is running at sunrise; your family or temple tradition may differ.
Kolkata sees sunrise earlier than almost any other big Indian city, so its Panchang timings differ noticeably from Delhi or Mumbai even on the same IST clock. Durga Puja, Kali Puja and Poila Baishakh shape the year, and the Kalighat and Dakshineswar temples draw huge crowds on Amavasya and festival days.
Daylight in Kolkata today lasts 11 h 21 min. Over the year it ranges from about 10 h 45 min to 13 h 31 min, so Rahu Kaal here is anywhere from 81 to 101 minutes long, and every daytime Muhurat stretches and shrinks with the seasons.
Sunrise in Kolkata today is 5:39 AM, 17 minutes earlier on the clock than in Patna (469 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.
Panchang timings, Muhurat and Kundli charts depend on where you are. Sunrise in Kolkata comes well over an hour before sunrise in Ahmedabad, even though all of India keeps the same clock (IST, UTC+5:30). These city pages use each city's own sunrise and coordinates, so the Tithi, Nakshatra and Rahu Kaal you see are right for your city.
