Practical notes for San Francisco Bay Area
- PT is 13h30m behind IST in winter (12h30m in summer): a 7 pm Bay Area puja is early morning in India, ideal for grandparents to join.
- Housewarming pujas are common after closings; we suggest muhurats that fit move-in weekends.
- Many families prefer Rudrabhishek and Navagraha shanti at the start of a new job or startup.
