Aaj Ka Panchang - Kolkata, 5 October 2025

On Sunday, the 5th of October 2025, the Vedic calendar in Kolkata carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 5:30 AM and dipping below the horizon at 5:19 PM, bringing 11 hours 49 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Trayodashi of Shukla Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Shatabhisha. The day carries the Ganda yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-10-05. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 3:54 AM to 4:42 AM.

In Kolkata, Rahu Kala runs from 3:50 PM to 5:19 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Sunday is West; new ventures toward the West are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Labh choghadiya, running 8:27 AM to 9:56 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Shatabhisha nakshatra is under the lordship of Rahu, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with Kolkata's horizon.
