Panchang for Kolkata — 16 October 2025

Krishna Dashami tithi, Ashlesha nakshatra · Thursday · West Bengal (22.5726°, 88.3639°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Partial (3/4)Vikram Samvat 2082 (Kalayukti)Shaka Samvat 1947Kanya (Bhadrapada)

A pañcāṅga is the day's five limbs — tithi, vāra, nakṣatra, yoga and karaṇa. All five come from the real positions of the Sun and Moon and change through the day, so they are reckoned from Kolkata (22.5726°, 88.3639°)'s own sunrise — 05:33 AM here today rather than from a national average. Below are today's five with the time each ends, and then the day's auspicious and inauspicious windows.
