About Rahu Kaal in San Jose
San Jose's Rahu Kaal times are calculated from San Jose's actual local sunrise, which today falls at 6:30 AM PDT (7:00 PM IST). San Jose is 12h 30m behind IST, so Indian diaspora residents can check this page to see both the local San Jose time and the corresponding IST equivalent — useful when coordinating with family in India.
Unlike most panchang apps which show India-based Rahu Kaal, this page calculates the correct inauspicious period for San Jose's specific latitude (37.3012°) and longitude (-121.848°). Today San Jose has 0 hr of daylight (sunrise 6:30 AM, sunset 7:43 PMPDT). San Jose observes Daylight Saving Time, so the IST offset changes twice a year — this site handles that automatically.
Today's Rahu Kaal (3:48 AM–2:27 AM PDT) is calculated from the same local sunrise (6:30 AM PDT) that photography tools use for golden hour: morning 6:30 AM–7:06 AM (36 min) and evening 7:08 PM–7:43 PM (35 min) — all derived from San Jose's precise coordinates. Photography planner for San Jose →
