Kolkata follows the Bengali solar calendar, in which the year begins with Pohela Boishakh in mid April.
Well-known temples: Kalighat Kali Temple, Dakshineswar Kali Temple, Belur Math.
Durga Puja is the city's greatest festival, Kali Puja is celebrated on the Diwali Amavasya, and Pohela Boishakh begins the Bengali new year.
Rahu Kalam is a period of about 90 minutes each day that Hindu tradition considers unsuitable for starting new work. It is one of eight equal parts of the daytime, and its position depends on the weekday.
They are other daily periods traditionally avoided for new beginnings. Yamaganda and Gulika are also one eighth of the daytime each, and Durmuhurtam is one or two short muhurtas that vary by weekday.
