Why is the panchang different in Kolkata than in India?

Tithi and nakshatra are moments in the sky, but the panchang is read at local sunrise. Because the sun rises at a different absolute time in Kolkata, the tithi prevailing at sunrise can differ from India — which is why festival observance dates sometimes differ abroad.

What time is Rahu Kalam today in Kolkata?

Today's Rahu Kalam in Kolkata is 3:34 PM – 4:59 PM local time, computed from the actual local sunrise and sunset (one-eighth of the day length, by weekday).
