Why Panchang in San Jose differs from India
The five limbs of Panchang — Tithi, Vaar, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana — come from the positions of the Sun and Moon, but the "day" they belong to starts at local sunrise. San Jose runs 12 hours 30 minutes behind India, so an India-timed Panchang may not match the date and timings locally.
That is why an India-timed Panchang is not directly usable in San Jose: a vrat fast, a puja muhurat and Rahu Kaal all need to be counted from sunrise here.
The America/Los_Angeles zone changes its clocks twice a year. This page uses the offset actually in force on the day being shown, so the timings stay correct across the changeover weekend instead of being an hour out.
How to use these timings
Rahu Kaal is one of eight equal parts of daylight and moves with the weekday. New work, purchases and the start of a journey are traditionally avoided inside it.
Abhijit Muhurat is a short favourable window around local noon, taken from the eighth of fifteen equal parts of the daylight period.
Choghadiya splits day and night into eight slots each; Amrit, Shubh and Labh are treated as favourable, and Rog, Kaal and Udveg are usually avoided for a new beginning.

What time zone is the San Jose Panchang calculated in?+
San Jose local time (America/Los_Angeles), which is 12 hours 30 minutes behind India. The date shown is this city's calendar day.
How is Rahu Kaal calculated for San Jose?+
Sunrise to sunset in San Jose is divided into eight equal parts, and one part per weekday belongs to Rahu. It is arithmetic on local sunrise, not a guess.
Will festival dates be the same as in India?+
Most festivals are stated on the Indian Panchang day. Where a vrat is observed from local sunrise, the date in San Jose can fall a day either side — so we say which basis we are using rather than hiding it.
