Panchang for Kolkata — 21 January 2027

Shukla Chaturdashi tithi, Ardra nakshatra · Thursday · West Bengal (22.5726°, 88.3639°)

Dina Shuddhi (day purity): Shuddha (Pure)Vikram Samvat 2084 (Raudri)Shaka Samvat 1949Makara (Pausha)

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 — 06:18 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.
