Once you have a good date, pick the time of day using San Jose's own sunrise: avoid Rahu Kaal, and if you can, start during the Abhijit Muhurat around local midday. Both are shown below for today and change a few minutes each day. Times are in Pacific Daylight Time (UTC−7).
| Day (Vara) | Shukravar (Friday) |
|---|---|
| Tithi at sunrise | Krishna Shashthi until Sat 31 Oct, 4:28 AM |
| Nakshatra | Ardra (pada 2) until Fri 30 Oct, 6:41 PM |
| Sunrise / Sunset | 7:30 AM / 6:11 PM |
| Rahu Kaal (avoid) | 11:31 AM – 12:51 PM |
| Abhijit Muhurat (good) | 12:29 PM – 1:12 PM |
All times are San Jose local time (Pacific Daylight Time, UTC−7). Calculated from San Jose's own sunrise with the Lahiri ayanamsa.
Start and end times are in San Jose time. A vrat is usually kept on the day the Tithi is running at sunrise; your family or temple tradition may differ.
The length of the day decides the length of Rahu Kaal. In San Jose the shortest day has about 9 h 35 min of daylight and the longest about 14 h 44 min (today: 10 h 41 min), which gives a Rahu Kaal of 72 to 111 minutes.
Sunrise in San Jose today is 7:30 AM, 19 minutes later on the clock than in Los Angeles (492 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.
On 30 October the sunrise Tithi in San Jose is Krishna Shashthi; in Delhi it is Krishna Panchami. This is why a vrat date from an Indian calendar can be a day off in San Jose.
San Jose is on Pacific Daylight Time (UTC−7), 12 h 30 min behind India.
San Jose uses daylight saving time, so the gap to India changes during the year:
If you were born in San Jose, enter your birth time exactly as it is written on your birth certificate. That is the local clock time, already including summer time if it applied, and the birthplace tells the calculation which time zone to use.
The San Francisco Bay Area, from San Jose and Sunnyvale to Fremont, has a large Indian tech community. Pacific Time is 13 h 30 min behind India in winter and 12 h 30 min in summer, so a festival Tithi here often starts on the previous calendar day compared with an Indian calendar.
Today in San Jose it is 12:29 PM – 1:12 PM. It is the eighth of the fifteen daytime muhurtas, centred on local noon.
It helps. If you do not know your Moon sign, a Kundli reading will tell you, or use the Rashi of the person doing the ceremony.
The good dates are usually similar, but the clock times are not. Sunrise, Rahu Kaal and Abhijit Muhurat must be worked out for San Jose. This page shows them in San Jose local time.
