Overview

  • Kali Puja falls on Monday, October 20, during Dipannita Amavasya and is marked most prominently in West Bengal, Odisha and Assam.
  • Customary observance includes early prayers, fasting, new clothes and bhog offerings such as fruits, sweets, khichdi, kheer, flowers and fried vegetables.
  • Hindustan Times, citing Drik Panchang, lists Nishita from 11:07–11:56 pm on Oct 20, with Amavasya tithi from 3:44 pm Oct 20 to 5:54 pm Oct 21.
  • LiveMint, also citing Drik Panchang, gives Nishita from 11:41 pm Oct 20 to 12:31 am Oct 21, with Amavasya from 1:14 pm Oct 20 to 3:24 pm Oct 21.
  • Financial Express publishes Nishita as 11:41 pm–12:31 am but pairs it with an Amavasya window of 3:44 pm Oct 20 to 5:54 pm Oct 21, underscoring the inconsistent timing details and noting Kali Puja is distinct from Kali Chaudas on Chaturdashi.
