Methodology and reference
All timings on this page are computed astronomically for Kolkata, India — solar and lunar positions, the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa and sunrise-anchored window divisions — and regression-checked against the Government of India publication Rashtriya Panchang (Positional Astronomy Centre, India Meteorological Department, Kolkata). Data verified against the Positional Astronomy Centre, IMD (Government of India) publications on every site update; the computation method is described on the about page.

Frequently asked questions
- Why do rahu kaal times in Kolkata differ from the Delhi reference?
- This page is computed for Kolkata’s own coordinates (22.57°N, 88.36°E) in the Asia/Kolkata time zone, not re-used from Delhi. Because every window is anchored to local sunrise, a different longitude shifts the clock times — and cities far east or west of Delhi can even observe a different tithi for the day.
- Do I need to adjust these times for my exact location?
- Within the same city the sunrise shift across suburbs is only a minute or two, so the times above are directly usable. If you are in a different city, open its page from the city links below for its own sunrise-anchored windows.
