Chand Ki Tarikh Today Kolkata

Kolkata's chand news travels out from Nakhoda Masjid, and Bengal's committees generally announce in line with the rest of India — so the Islamic date today in Kolkata, live in the card above, rarely surprises anyone, even with Bangladesh next door running its own national committee. Namaz and moonrise times below are computed for Kolkata's coordinates.

Kolkata ka chand ka markaz is Nakhoda Masjid on Zakaria Street, the red-sandstone landmark built by the Kutchi Memon community in 1926, with room for close to 10,000 worshippers. Announcements that matter to the city's Muslims are made and relayed from here, and Bengal's sighting committees have a long record of matching the declarations coming out of Delhi and the rest of the country.

Once the Ramadan chand is confirmed, Zakaria Street runs its famous month-long food stretch: haleem, mahi akbari, bakarkhani and shahi tukda stalls packed from iftar to well past midnight. That street only lights up after the sighting is announced, which is why so many Kolkata chand searches spike on the 29th of Shaban. The live date on this page tells you where the month stands right now.
