Panchang for Kolkata
India’s easternmost metro — the Sun rises here well before the rest of the country on the same clock.
Thursday · 17 Sep 2026 · Kolkata
An easy-does-it day
Reading the day
- Thursday · Jupiter’s day — the most auspicious of the week
- Favours ceremonies and religious acts, marriage, beginning education, and matters of finance.
- Anuradha · Mridu (soft) star
- The Moon’s star suits marriage, music, new clothes, friendship, and celebration.
- Nanda (joy) tithi
- A tithi of festivity — celebrations, the arts, pleasure, and light auspicious work.
- The Vishkambha yoga is counted inauspicious in its opening portion only; the rest of its span is usable.
- Disha Shool sits in the south — travellers traditionally avoid beginning a journey toward the south today.
