Frequently asked questions

Why is Rahu Kaal at a different time each day in Kolkata?

Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the time between local sunrise and sunset, so it moves with the seasons. In Kolkata it lasts about 1h 41m around the June solstice and 1h 21m around the December solstice.

Which time zone are these Kolkata timings in?

All times are local Kolkata time (Asia/Kolkata), which is the same as India (IST). Kolkata does not use daylight saving time.

Are Hindu festival dates in Kolkata the same as in India?

Not always. Over the next 12 months, 2 of the 35 major festivals listed here fall on a different date in Kolkata than in New Delhi (Bhai Dooj, Sharad Navratri). Festival dates depend on the tithi at local sunrise, midday or midnight, so the local date is the correct one to observe in Kolkata.
