Puja muhurat in Kolkata
In Kolkata, the Kali Puja 2027 puja window runs 10:56 PM to 11:44 PM on 29 October 2027, a Friday. That is 44 minutes earlier than New Delhi, because the sun rises earlier in Kolkata and the window is cut from the local sunrise.
How this timing is worked out
Sunrise in Kolkata that day is 5:39 AM and sunset is 5:01 PM. The muhurat window is cut from that daylight span, which is why it differs from one city to the next. The rule: Amavasya tithi of the Krishna paksha in purnimanta Kartika, prevailing at nishita (midnight).
What Kali Puja is
Bengal, Assam and Odisha keep Kali Puja on the same Kartika Amavasya that the rest of India keeps as Diwali. The worship is at nishita - midnight - not at dusk, which is the one real difference in timing.
