How this day differs

• Sunrise 05:52 (yesterday 05:51), sunset 16:51 (yesterday 16:51), daylight 10 h 59 min (yesterday 11 h 00 min).
• Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 13:34, yesterday 13:00; moonset 02:12 (next day), yesterday 01:16 (next day).
• At 05:52 the tithi is Shukla Dashami; at yesterday’s sunrise (05:51) it was Shukla Navami.
• At 05:52 the Moon is in Purva Bhadrapada (Shatabhisha at 05:51 yesterday), having moved from Kumbha (Aquarius) into Mina (Pisces); the yoga is Harshana (yesterday Vyaghata).
• Rahu Kaal moves from 12:44–14:06 on Thursday (daylight part 6 of 8) to 09:59–11:22 on Friday (part 4).

Kolkata lies at 22.56° N, 88.36° E; local solar noon is at 11:22. Against Bengaluru on the same date, sunrise here is 28 min earlier, sunset 58 min earlier and daylight 30 min shorter; the limbs end at the same clock times in both.

Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Abhijit and Brahma muhurta

Each daylight part is 1 h 22 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (44 min) and Brahma muhurta count as favourable by tradition. Some panchangas reckon Brahma muhurta with fixed 48-minute muhurtas.

Ekadashi, Purnima and Amavasya

• Devutthana Ekadashi: Ekadashi tithi from Fri 20 Nov 2026, 07:16 to Sat 21 Nov 2026, 06:32. Dwadashi ends before the sunrise after the Ekadashi day, leaving no Dwadashi for parana, so calendars differ: Smarta calendars keep the fast on Friday 20 November 2026 (today), Vaishnava calendars on Saturday 21 November 2026. Follow your own tradition. Ekadashi dates for 2026.

This page reports the tithi calculation and the sunrise rule. Fasting and festival days also follow regional and sectarian rules; when in doubt, follow your own tradition or temple calendar.

When each limb changes

Times are local in Kolkata (Asia/Kolkata). The first of each is in effect at sunrise; each next one begins where the previous ends. “Next day” means after midnight, before the next sunrise.
