Saturday is Shani's day. Many people in Kolkata visit a temple, light a sesame-oil lamp or give to charity on Saturdays during Sade Sati. If you plan something important on a Saturday, avoid Rahu Kaal, which on Saturdays falls in the third eighth of the day. The next Saturday's timings for Kolkata are below.
Saturday 31 October in Kolkata: sunrise 5:40 AM, Rahu Kaal 8:30 AM – 9:55 AM, Tithi Krishna Shashthi.
| Day (Vara) | Shukravar (Friday) |
|---|---|
| Tithi at sunrise | Krishna Panchami until Fri 30 Oct, 7:25 PM |
| Nakshatra | Mrigashira (pada 4) until Fri 30 Oct, 9:04 AM |
| Sunrise / Sunset | 5:39 AM / 5:00 PM |
| Rahu Kaal (avoid) | 9:55 AM – 11:20 AM |
| Abhijit Muhurat (good) | 10:57 AM – 11:42 AM |
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.
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.
Kolkata is on India Standard Time (UTC+5:30), the same as India (IST).
Kolkata does not use daylight saving time, so the clock stays the same all year. Enter birth times exactly as written on the birth certificate.
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.
Saturn has been in Meena (Pisces) since 29 March 2025 and moves into Mesha (Aries) in June 2027. Until then Sade Sati runs for Kumbha (Aquarius, last phase), Meena (Pisces, peak phase) and Mesha (Aries, first phase), and Shani Dhaiya for Simha (Leo) and Dhanu (Sagittarius).
No. It is a period of hard work, responsibility and lessons, and for many people it brings lasting results. The report explains your phase and practical steps.
No. Saturn's position is the same everywhere, so Sade Sati depends only on your Moon sign. Living in Kolkata does not change it, but local timings for remedies, such as Saturday Rahu Kaal, do follow Kolkata time.
