Kolkata Panchang November 2026

In November 2026 the sun rises in Kolkata as early as 05:40 on Sunday 1 November and as late as 05:59 on Monday 30 November — a spread of 19 minutes across the month. Sunset moves from 16:59 on Sunday 1 November to 16:51 on Thursday 19 November. The longest daylight is 11h 19m on Sunday 1 November and the shortest 10h 52m on Monday 30 November.

That matters more than it sounds, because Rahu Kaal, Gulika and Yamaghanta are each one eighth of the interval from sunrise to sunset rather than fixed clock spans — so in Kolkata in November 2026 an eighth runs from 82 minutes to 85 minutes, and a table quoting a flat ninety minutes is wrong here by up to 8 minutes. Rahu Kaal on 1 November, a Sunday, is 15:34-16:59 — the 8th of those eight parts, which is the one a Sunday always takes.

Because the weekday chooses the part, Rahu Kaal’s position on the clock swings much further than sunrise does. Across November 2026 in Kolkata it begins as early as 07:06 on 2 November, a Monday, and as late as 15:34 on 1 November, a Sunday — 8h 29m apart, against a sunrise spread of only 19 minutes. There is no single “Rahu Kaal time” to memorise, here or anywhere.

Kolkata sits 11.15° east of New Delhi, which on longitude alone would put its sunrise 45 minutes earlier. Measured against the national table it actually runs from 57 minutes earlier to 52 minutes earlier across November 2026. It is a range rather than a constant because latitude bends the figure with the season while longitude only shifts it, and here that bend is worth 5 minutes across the month. On the worst day in the table below the national panchang’s Rahu Kaal begins 53 minutes from Kolkata’s. A national table would get Kolkata’s tithi right and every one of its times wrong.

Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are the same everywhere in India and are read at sunrise from the same DE421 table the rest of the site uses — listed here for completeness, not because they differ by city: across these 30 sunrises the nakshatra takes 26 of its 27 values and the tithi 28 of its 30. In November 2026 Purnima falls on 24 November; Amavasya on 9 November; the single Ekadashi on 5 November.
