Panchang for Kolkata

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

Today’s panchang

Wednesday · 6 Jan 2027 · Kolkata

An easy-does-it day

The day at a glance

Reading the day

Wednesday · Mercury’s day
Favours commerce, accounts, writing, learning, and negotiation.
Mula · Tikshna (sharp) star
The Moon’s star suits separations, stern measures, and intense discipline — not auspicious starts.
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.
  • Vishti (Bhadra) karana is running — auspicious beginnings are traditionally deferred until it ends; see the karana row for the time.
  • Disha Shool sits in the north — travellers traditionally avoid beginning a journey toward the north today.

Classical muhurta guidance for the day, calculated without AI. It is general guidance, not a substitute for an elected muhurat.
