Jaipur’s Hindu calendar marks Saturday, 10 October 2026, as Amavasya, the lunar date associated with Pitru Paksha remembrance rituals. For readers planning family observances, the most useful detail is that local panchang timings can differ by city and calculation method; this report uses Jaipur-specific references rather than national estimates.
Key points
- Jaipur’s 10 October panchang identifies Amavasya and Hasta nakshatra, with the lunar date ending around 9:20 p.m.
- Traditional observances associated with Sarva Pitru Amavasya include remembrance of ancestors and, in some families, offerings or charitable acts.
- A panchang describes culturally significant timekeeping conventions; claims that a particular time guarantees success are not scientifically established.
Jaipur timings for Saturday
The Jaipur-specific Dev Panchang lists sunrise at approximately 6:23 a.m., sunset at 6:03 p.m. and Amavasya through 9:20 p.m. It places Hasta nakshatra through approximately 9:42 p.m. and the traditionally avoided Rahu Kaal interval from 9:18 a.m. to 10:46 a.m. These are calendar calculations, not forecasts of what will happen to an individual.
BhaktiBharat’s Jaipur calendar likewise gives Amavasya ending around 9:20 p.m., but sunrise and some associated intervals vary by several minutes. Another Jaipur service gives a different tithi end time, illustrating why readers conducting time-sensitive rites should verify their family’s customary calendar and locality rather than treating one website as universally definitive.
What Sarva Pitru Amavasya means
Amavasya is the new-moon tithi in the traditional Hindu lunar calendar. The Amavasya concluding Pitru Paksha is commonly called Sarva Pitru Amavasya, when some Hindu families remember deceased relatives, particularly where a separate annual remembrance date is unknown. Practices differ across communities and households, so there is no single mandatory set of rites for everyone.
The word ‘tithi’ refers to a lunar angular interval, not simply a fixed 24-hour date. This is why a tithi may end during the evening while the calendar day continues. Nakshatra is another traditional subdivision based on the Moon’s position against the zodiac.
Why it matters
Checking a location-specific calendar can prevent confusion over the timing of an observance. If relatives in Jaipur and another city quote slightly different sunrise-based timings, the discrepancy does not necessarily mean either has invented a festival date. For anyone making decisions about travel, health, money or examinations, however, cultural timing preferences should not replace evidence-based planning.
For context, see Taaza Khabar’s October 9 Jaipur panchang and the Astrology archive. How does your family distinguish a customary local panchang from a general festival calendar?
