How this panchang is calculated for Kolkata
Every timing on this page is solved for 22.5726° N, 88.3639° E, the coordinates of Kolkata, West Bengal, and printed in Asia/Kolkata (UTC+05:30 today). On October 13, 2026 the sun rises at 5:31 AM and sets at 5:13 PM here, a 11h 41m day. Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kalam and the daily muhurtas are all divisions of that local sunrise-to-sunset span, which is why Rahu Kalam falls at 2:18 PM – 3:46 PM in Kolkata instead of matching a panchangam printed for India. Kolkata keeps Indian Standard Time.
Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are astronomical events shared by the whole planet, so they begin and end at the same instant everywhere — but the clock time you see them at is your own. The end times above are converted into Kolkata time, not IST. Residents of Howrah, Salt Lake and Barrackpore are close enough to Kolkata to use these timings as printed.
