Q. What is the Tithi today in Kolkata?

Today's Tithi in Kolkata is Jaya Ekadashi. It is scheduled to conclude at 09:35 AM (Local Time). For NRI families, we calculate this using the local Kolkata sunrise to ensure ritual accuracy.

Q. When is Rahu Kaal in Kolkata today?

The Rahu Kaal (inauspicious period) for Kolkata starts at 09:02 AM – 10:26 AM. Unlike India-based calendars, this window is calculated based on the specific day-length in India today.

Q. Why do festival dates in Kolkata sometimes differ from India?

Hindu festivals like Ekadashi or Karwa Chauth are based on the Tithi prevailing at Local Sunrise. Since Kolkata is hours behind or ahead of India, the Tithi might start or end on a different calendar day for you.
