Panchangam for San Jose

2026-09-08 · San Jose, United States · Tuesday

17:24:50Nothing is running at the moment. None of the periods the panchangam marks is in force right now.

Amirdha — the best of the eight until 18:15:12

Three of the periods above are the same for everyone in this city. Chandrashtama is not — it needs your star, comes round about once every twenty-seven days, and ends at whatever hour the Moon changes sign.

Nalla neram — the gowri panchangam

Eight parts of daylight and eight of night, five of them favourable. This is the table families read when they are choosing an hour rather than asking about this minute.

Varjyam

Four ghatikas of each nakshatra are set aside as varjyam, at a point the texts fix separately for each of the twenty-seven. Nothing new is begun in it. Because a ghatika is a sixtieth of the nakshatra rather than a fixed clock span, the window runs about an hour and a half and shifts with the Moon.

Ashlesha

Amrita kalam

Amrita kalam is the counterpart, and the texts treat it as the most favourable stretch of the day for beginning something. It is measured the same way, from the same nakshatra.

Ashlesha

Computed from NASA JPL DE440 with the Lahiri ayanamsa — a Thirukanitha reckoning. Sunrise uses the apparent horizon (−0°50′), the convention Indian panchangams publish, so these timings should match a Thirukanitha almanac to within a minute. If yours is a Vakya panchangam the tithi and nakshatra end times will differ, sometimes by hours rather than minutes. Neither is a mistake: they are two traditions, and this is the one we compute.
