Panchang for Kolkata — 25 September 2026

Shukla Chaturdashi tithi, Shatabhisha nakshatra · Friday · West Bengal (22.5726°, 88.3639°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Shuddha (Pure)Vikram Samvat 2083 (Siddharthi)Shaka Samvat 1948Kanya (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 — 05:26 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.
