Check Panchang for another city

This page calculates the Panjika for Kolkata, West Bengal from the city's own coordinates and local sunrise, so the Tithi, Vara and timings reflect Kolkata rather than a single national table. In Bengal, the traditional almanac is commonly searched as Panjika.

Why Panjika for Kolkata is a local calculation

Kolkata sits in West Bengal at about 22.5726° N, 88.3639° E. Because the Panjika day opens at sunrise, Kolkata's own sunrise sets its Vara and decides which Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana are in force through the day.

That is why a reading for Kolkata can differ from another city on the same date. Astrovarg works this page out from Kolkata's coordinates on the Asia/Kolkata timezone — a local result, not a generic one. For how the five limbs are read, see the complete Panchang guide.

Kolkata Panjika — FAQs

Why does Panjika for Kolkata differ from other cities?

It is anchored to Kolkata's local sunrise. Sunrise reaches Kolkata at its own clock time, so a Tithi or Nakshatra can move onto a different day than in a city further east or west.

Is this Panjika based on local sunrise in Kolkata?

Yes. The page uses Kolkata's coordinates (22.5726° N, 88.3639° E) and the Asia/Kolkata timezone, and the reading is anchored to the city's own sunrise.

Can I check another date for Kolkata?

Yes. Change the date in the calculator above and Astrovarg recomputes the Panjika for Kolkata on that day.

Where can I learn how to read Panchang?

The full explanation of the five limbs — Tithi, Vara, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana — is on the main Panchang page.
