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 August 28, 2026 the sun rises at 6:34 AM and sets at 7:42 PM here, a 13h 7m 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 11:30 AM – 1:08 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.
