Sunrise, Daylight & Panchangam Timings in San Jose
San Jose lies at latitude 37.3°N. Across 2026, sunrise in San Jose ranges from about 5:46 AM at its earliest (around Jun) to roughly 7:32 AM at its latest (around Nov). The longest day lasts about 14.7 hours near Jun, shrinking to roughly 9.6 hours around Dec.
Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam, Gulika Kalam and the daily Muhurthams are each measured as fixed fractions of the time between local sunrise and sunset. Because that span changes through the year in San Jose, these windows shift too — and they differ from every city in India. That is why this page recomputes the full Panchangam for San Jose’s own coordinates and timezone each day, instead of reusing timings calculated for another location.
San Jose keeps US Pacific Time (PT, UTC−8) (with daylight-saving time in the warmer months), which places it about 13 hours 30 minutes behind India (IST). A Tithi or Nakshatram that rules a given clock hour in India therefore begins at a shifted local time in San Jose, so the Panchangam here cannot simply copy Indian timings. This page recomputes sunrise, sunset, Tithi, Nakshatram, Rahu Kalam and every Muhurtham from San Jose’s own coordinates (37.34°N, 121.89°W), adjusting automatically for daylight-saving time, so each value is correct for San Jose rather than for India.
Common Questions — Panchangam in San Jose
What time is sunrise in San Jose?
Sunrise in San Jose is not fixed — it varies from about 5:46 AM at its earliest (around Jun) to roughly 7:32 AM at its latest (around Nov). This page computes sunrise daily for San Jose’s coordinates (37.3°N), so the Tithi, Nakshatram, Rahu Kalam and Muhurtham windows always reflect the real local day.
Why does San Jose’s Rahu Kalam differ from the Panchangam my family uses in India?
Rahu Kalam is one-eighth of the daytime, measured from local sunrise to sunset. San Jose runs about 12.5 hours behind India and sits at latitude 37.3°N, so its sunrise and day length are different — which means the eight Rahu Kalam slots land at different clock times. A Panchangam printed for Hyderabad or Vijayawada will not line up with San Jose.
Can Telugu festival dates differ in San Jose?
Yes, sometimes. Festivals are fixed by the Tithi at local sunrise (or moonrise/midday for some). Because San Jose is about 12.5 hours behind India, a Tithi can begin or end on a different local date — so festivals such as Deepavali or Vinayaka Chavithi occasionally fall a day earlier or later than in India. Each festival date on this page is computed for San Jose’s own timezone.
