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.
- Uttara Bhadrapada · Dhruva (fixed) star
- The Moon’s star suits laying foundations, building, planting, and beginnings meant to endure.
- Jaya (victory) tithi
- A tithi for contest — competition, litigation, and assertive starts.
- Saturday is classically set aside for new auspicious beginnings (marriages, ventures, journeys) — routine and ongoing work is unaffected.
- The Vyaghata yoga is counted inauspicious in its opening portion only; the rest of its span is usable.
- Disha Shool sits in the east — travellers traditionally avoid beginning a journey toward the east today.
