Ruler: varies by weekday
Dur Muhurtam in Kolkata today falls at 09:31 am–10:22 am and 01:45 pm–02:36 pm, derived from the city's sunrise (05:18 am) and sunset (05:59 pm). For auspicious work, Kolkata's Abhijit Muhurat today is 11:14 am–12:02 pm.
Kolkata keeps Bengali time: the Bisuddha Siddhanta school of Panjika, amanta months, and Durga Puja’s tithi-by-tithi choreography from Mahalaya to Bijoya. Kolkata runs about 23 minutes ahead of the IST meridian, so its Dur Muhurtam window is unique to the city — never reuse another city's timing.
