How this panchang is calculated for San Jose

Every timing on this page is solved for 37.3382° N, 121.8863° W, the coordinates of San Jose, California, and printed in America/Los_Angeles (UTC-07:00 today). On October 8, 2026 the sun rises at 7:09 AM and sets at 6:40 PM here, a 11h 31m day. Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kalam and the daily muhurtas are all divisions of that local sunrise-to-sunset span, which is why Rahu Kalam falls at 2:21 PM – 3:47 PM in San Jose instead of matching a panchangam printed for India. San Jose clocks run 12h 30m behind IST.

Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are astronomical events shared by the whole planet, so they begin and end at the same instant everywhere — but the clock time you see them at is your own. The end times above are converted into San Jose time, not IST. Residents of Fremont, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Milpitas and Cupertino are close enough to San Jose to use these timings as printed.

Panchang questions people ask about San Jose

What time is Rahu Kalam in San Jose today?

On October 8, 2026, Rahu Kalam in San Jose, California runs from 2:21 PM – 3:47 PM local time. It is derived from San Jose's own sunrise and sunset, so it does not match the Rahu Kalam printed in an India-based panchangam.

What time is sunrise and sunset in San Jose today?

The sun rises at 7:09 AM and sets at 6:40 PM in San Jose, California on October 8, 2026, giving a day length of 11h 31m. Every muhurta on this page is measured from those two moments.

Is this panchang calculated for San Jose specifically?

Yes. The five elements are astronomical, but the day's windows are not: every timing here is solved for 37.3382° N, 121.8863° W in the America/Los_Angeles timezone (UTC-07:00 today). San Jose clocks run 12h 30m behind IST. The same timings apply across Fremont, Sunnyvale and Santa Clara.

Panchang for nearby cities

Sunrise moves with longitude, so a city an hour away already has different muhurtas.
