Local Choghadiya Context in Kolkata
Kolkata (कोलकाता) has source-verified local observance context for Durga Puja, Kali Puja, Rath Yatra. If a plan around one of those observances starts inside Kolkata, use this city's table for the first step.
Kolkata coordinate facts for Choghadiya: 22.5726 degrees north; 88.3639 degrees east; state West Bengal; timezone Asia/Kolkata; sunrise range 4:56–6:23 AM. These facts define the city's daylight envelope, so do not copy a Shubh, Labh, Amrit, Char, Kaal, Rog, or Udveg slot from another city into Kolkata.
Kolkata Choghadiya belongs to the place where the first irreversible step begins. Living elsewhere in West Bengal, or dealing with someone in another city, does not change that starting location.
Kolkata's periods are derived from 22.5726 degrees north, 88.3639 degrees east, Asia/Kolkata, and the local sunrise range 4:56–6:23 AM. A table calculated for another city is therefore not interchangeable with this one.
Name the physical action first — payment, signature, journey, delivery, shop opening, or puja sankalp — then check that Kolkata period against Panchang and Rahu Kaal. This page makes no local landmark, custom, or observance claim without subject-bound evidence.
Which places near Kolkata can read these Choghadiya timings
Howrah lies 5 km west of Kolkata and sees sunrise 0m to +1m against it, so the first Choghadiya boundary in the table above moves by that much there. Across every place listed below the shift runs −1m to +1m and each of the eight daylight periods keeps the same length it has here, so the periods do not stretch — only the boundary moves.

|---|---|---|---|---|

How Kolkata Residents Use Choghadiya Today
Use the Kolkata table for the place where the first physical action begins. If the person lives in West Bengal but the journey, delivery, meeting, griha pravesh, or sankalp starts elsewhere, switch to that city's page before choosing the muhurat.
For Kolkata, read the table with the source-verified observance context (Durga Puja, Kali Puja, Rath Yatra), the daylight span 4:56–6:23 AM, and the coordinates 22.5726 degrees north, 88.3639 degrees east. Those governed inputs separate a Kolkata Choghadiya decision from a generic all-India timing rule.
For expensive or irreversible work in Kolkata, treat Choghadiya as the quick filter and then verify the same date with Kolkata's Panchang, Rahu Kaal, and Shubh Muhurat pages. All three use the same local coordinate set.
Compare the selected Choghadiya with the day's Panchang and Rahu Kaal before fixing the final muhurat.
Nearby timing pages for Howrah, Bardhaman, Durgapur, Asansol, Kollam, Kolhapur are linked below because sunrise, sunset, and period boundaries can move even across short regional distances. Use those pages when the work starts outside Kolkata.
Other West Bengal city pages here include Howrah, Asansol, Durgapur, Siliguri, Bardhaman, Malda. Compare them only for route planning or family coordination; choose the final muhurat from the exact city where the first action begins.
