Questions people ask
Why do two panjikas give different dates and times?
Bisuddha Siddhanta computes the positions of the sun and moon with modern astronomy; Gupta Press, PM Bagchi and Beniamadhab Shil follow the older Surya Siddhanta. The two can put a tithi hours apart, which sometimes moves a ritual by a day. In 2026 Sandhi Puja is 10.28 to 11.16 am in Bisuddha Siddhanta (and at Belur Math) but 7.25 to 8.13 am in Gupta Press.
When is Poila Baishakh 1434?
Thursday 15 April 2027 in West Bengal (Bangladesh keeps 14 April).
When is Kali Puja 2026?
Sunday 8 November 2026. Amavasya runs from 11.27 am on 8 November to 12.31 pm on 9 November; nishi puja in Kolkata about 10.55 to 11.46 pm.
How are the times on this page worked out?
Tithi, nakshatra, sunrise and sunset are computed for Kolkata from NASA JPL's DE421 ephemeris, the modern method Bisuddha Siddhanta uses, and checked against Bisuddha's printed times for Durga Puja 2026 (within two minutes). Gupta Press times appear only where they have been published.
