Jaipur Panchang October 20, 2026 places Ashwina Shukla Navami at sunrise on Tuesday, with Dashami beginning at about 12:50 p.m. India Standard Time, according to two Jaipur-specific calendar listings. Drik Panchang lists Vijayadashami, or Dussehra, for Jaipur on this date, with a Vijay Muhurat from 2:06 p.m. to 2:51 p.m. Panchang calculations describe religious calendar customs, not scientifically established auspicious or inauspicious effects.
Key points
- Jaipur’s October 20 Panchang places Shukla Navami at sunrise and Dashami from about 12:50 p.m. IST.
- Local listings put sunrise at 6:29 a.m. and sunset at 5:54 p.m., with Shravana nakshatra giving way to Dhanishta at about 6:02 p.m.
- Drik Panchang lists Vijayadashami for Jaipur on October 20, while Bengal-tradition Vijayadashami falls on October 21.
What the Jaipur calendar says
Drik Panchang’s Jaipur page for Tuesday, October 20, lists sunrise at 6:29 a.m. and sunset at 5:54 p.m. IST. Moonrise is listed at 2:26 p.m. and moonset at 1:30 a.m. on October 21. The tithi is Shukla Paksha Navami until 12:50 p.m., followed by Dashami. Shravana nakshatra runs until 6:02 p.m., and Shula yoga continues until 12:50 a.m. on October 21. Kaulava karana lasts until 12:50 p.m., followed by Taitila until 1:36 a.m. on October 21. The lunar month is Ashwina in both the Amanta and Purnimanta systems. Drik Panchang gives Vikram Samvat 2083 (Siddharthi) and Shaka Samvat 1948 (Parabhava), with the Moon in Makara and the Sun in Tula.
Panchang.live’s Jaipur entry gives matching sunrise and sunset times. Its tithi and karana change at 12:51 p.m., one minute later than Drik Panchang’s. It also lists the Shravana-to-Dhanishta change at 6:02 p.m. and Shula yoga ending at 12:50 a.m. followed by Ganda. Small differences in rounded times can arise from calculation choices.
Rahu Kaal and other daily periods
For readers who follow traditional muhurat tables, both Jaipur listings place the following periods on October 20 (times in IST):
- Rahu Kaal: 3:03 p.m. to 4:28 p.m.
- Yamaganda: 9:20 a.m. to 10:46 a.m.
- Gulika Kaal: 12:11 p.m. to 1:37 p.m. (Panchang.live: 12:12 p.m. to 1:37 p.m.)
- Abhijit Muhurat: 11:49 a.m. to 12:34 p.m.
- Brahma Muhurat: 4:48 a.m. to 5:39 a.m. (Drik Panchang)
- Dur Muhurtam: 8:46 a.m. to 9:32 a.m. (Drik Panchang)
Some families use these intervals as religious scheduling guidance. No empirical scientific evidence establishes that they cause success or failure in everyday activities.
Dussehra and the Navami-to-Dashami shift
A tithi follows the changing angle between the Sun and the Moon rather than the midnight-to-midnight civil date, so it can begin or end partway through a day. On October 20, Navami is present at Jaipur’s sunrise, and Dashami begins around midday. Drik Panchang’s Jaipur Vijayadashami page says Dashami tithi begins at 12:50 p.m. on October 20 and ends at 2:11 p.m. on October 21. It lists Vijayadashami for Jaipur on Tuesday, October 20, with a Vijay Muhurat from 2:06 p.m. to 2:51 p.m. The page notes that rituals such as Shami Puja, Aparajita Puja and Seema Avalanghan are traditionally performed in the afternoon (Aparahna) period.
Drik Panchang explains that most Indian states mark Vijayadashami on the day when a suitable combination of tithi and nakshatra falls in the afternoon. West Bengal follows the Dashami tithi alone, which is why its listing shows Bengal Vijayadashami on October 21. Drik Panchang’s daily page for October 20 also lists Ayudha Puja, Durga Visarjan and Bengal Maha Navami. Panchang.live’s daily page did not list festivals for the date. Readers can confirm local observances with their temple or family calendar.
Why it matters
Dussehra closes the Sharad Navratri period for many households, and families plan puja, Durga Visarjan and community events around these timings. The practical point is that the date alone does not settle the ritual time; location, calendar method and family tradition all matter. Times for Jaipur differ by several minutes from Delhi or other cities. Event timings for public Ravan Dahan programmes are set by local organisers, not by the Panchang. Our earlier Jaipur Panchang report for October 19 gives the preceding day’s context, and the Astrology archive contains other cultural-calendar explainers.
