Which Planet/Star is it? - Astronomy

The site in-the-sky.org has a wide variety of functions and options. In Planetarium mode, I chose a random city at about 24N and in the middle, which helps to get the correct UTC + 05:30 India Time Zone, and then just put in the time and date and turned on alt/az grid.



So it is likely to have been Jupiter, as you suspect. Below are two screen shots - 20:00 and 23:00 local time, with Jupiter climbing from 41 to about 73 degrees above the horizon.
