How to read the table
Each row is one choghadiya: its number in the day or the night, its time in the local time of Kolkata, its name, its ruling planet and what it is traditionally good for. Amrit, Shubh and Labh are favourable, Chal is neutral and good for travel, Udveg, Rog and Kaal are avoided for beginnings. A time after midnight carries (+1). The marked row is the period running now.
Why the times are different every day
The day is divided from the local sunrise to the local sunset into eight equal parts, and the night from sunset to the next sunrise. In summer the day periods of Kolkata are longer than the night ones and in winter shorter, and the order starts from the weekday's own choghadiya. Before sunrise the night of the previous weekday is still running, so the table then shows yesterday's date.
Choghadiya and the rest of the day
Choghadiya weighs less than Rahu kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika, and less than Abhijit: if a good choghadiya falls into Rahu kalam, the tradition follows Rahu kalam. The whole day of Kolkata, with the five limbs and those windows, is on the panchang page.
