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
- Sunday · the Sun’s day
- Favours dealings with authority and government, leadership, medical treatment, and steady undertakings meant to last.
- Purva Ashadha · Ugra (fierce) star
- The Moon’s star suits confrontation, demolition, weapons, and surgical operations — not gentle beginnings.
- Rikta (empty) tithi
- Auspicious beginnings are set aside; suited instead to clearing debts and removing obstacles.
- Rikta tithi — defer launching new auspicious work; a good day for clearing debts and obstacles.
- Disha Shool sits in the west — travellers traditionally avoid beginning a journey toward the west today.
