San Francisco Panchang today

Tithi

The lunar day active at local sunrise.

Nakshatra

The Moon's star mansion at local sunrise.

Sunrise / sunset

Solar day bounds for San Francisco in Pacific Time.

Rahu Kalam

An inauspicious daytime interval derived from the local solar day.

Muhurat

Auspicious windows (for example Brahma Muhurat or Abhijit) for this city's sunrise–sunset day.

Choghadiya

Day and night segments (Amrit, Shubh, Labh, and others) derived from this city's local solar day — used to choose auspicious windows.

The City itself holds far fewer Hindu institutions than the South Bay — the Vedanta Society's 1905 building on Webster Street predates almost everything else in North America, and the large temples are across the bay in Livermore or down the peninsula. San Francisco's own problem is the working day: a Delhi livestream of Brahma Muhurat at 4:50am IST is 4:20pm the previous afternoon here, the wrong session for a sankalpa. Fremont and San Jose have their own pages; use those coordinates if you live in the South Bay rather than treating this one as the whole Bay Area.

Pacific Time DST (March–November). The City's sunrise is later than Los Angeles in winter because of the latitude, and the coastal fog line means the visible sunrise on a July morning in the Sunset arrives long after the computed one. Do not reuse an LA screenshot.
