Tarabalam - Kolkata, 12 November 2026

On Thursday, the 12th of November 2026, the Vedic calendar in Kolkata carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 5:48 AM and dipping below the horizon at 4:52 PM, bringing 11 hours 5 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Tritiya of Shukla Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Jyeshtha. The day carries the Sukarma yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-11-12. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 4:12 AM to 5:00 AM.

In Kolkata, Rahu Kala runs from 12:43 PM to 2:06 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Thursday is South; new ventures toward the South are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Shubh choghadiya, running 5:48 AM to 7:11 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Jyeshtha nakshatra is under the lordship of Mercury, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with Kolkata's horizon.

Why is sunrise in Kolkata on 12 November 2026 at 5:48 AM?

Sunrise at 5:48 AM in Kolkata on 12 November 2026 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (22.57°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date.
