Panchang for Kolkata
India’s easternmost metro — the Sun rises here well before the rest of the country on the same clock.

An easy-does-it day
Reading the day
- Saturday · Saturn’s day
- Favours labour and construction, work with iron, steel, oil and machinery, and tasks needing endurance.
- Jyeshtha · Tikshna (sharp) star
- The Moon’s star suits separations, stern measures, and intense discipline — not auspicious starts.
- Purna (full) tithi
- A tithi of completion — ceremonies, fulfilment, and all auspicious work.
- Saturday is classically set aside for new auspicious beginnings (marriages, ventures, journeys) — routine and ongoing work is unaffected.
- The Vaidhriti yoga runs today — its whole span is classically avoided for auspicious beginnings.
- Disha Shool sits in the east — travellers traditionally avoid beginning a journey toward the east today.
