Jodhpur follows the North Indian purnimanta calendar, and many families also choose times from the Choghadiya.
Well-known temples: Chamunda Mata Temple, Mehrangarh Fort, Mahamandir Temple.
Gangaur in Chaitra and Teej in Shravana are celebrated by women with processions of the Goddess, and Dhinga Gavar, a night festival of the old city, follows Gangaur.
Rahu Kalam is a period of about 90 minutes each day that Hindu tradition considers unsuitable for starting new work. It is one of eight equal parts of the daytime, and its position depends on the weekday.
They are other daily periods traditionally avoided for new beginnings. Yamaganda and Gulika are also one eighth of the daytime each, and Durmuhurtam is one or two short muhurtas that vary by weekday.
