What is Rahu Kaal today?

Rahu Kaal depends on where you are, because it is one eighth of your local daylight. Today’s timings for the major cities are listed above; open your city for its exact window, Yamaganda, Gulika Kaal and the next seven days.

How is Rahu Kaal calculated?

The time from local sunrise to sunset is divided into eight equal parts. Rahu Kaal is the 2nd part on Monday, 3rd on Saturday, 4th on Friday, 5th on Wednesday, 6th on Thursday, 7th on Tuesday and 8th on Sunday — remembered as “Mother Saw Father Wearing The Turban Suddenly”.

Is Rahu Kaal always 7:30 to 9:00 on Monday?

Only approximately. Fixed tables such as “Monday 7:30–9:00” assume a 6:00 sunrise and 6:00 sunset. Real sunrise varies by city and season, so the actual window can differ by 30 minutes or more — which is why these pages compute it from each city’s sunrise and sunset.

Is Rahu Kaal observed at night?

In common practice Rahu Kaal is a daytime period, measured between sunrise and sunset. Some traditions also mark a night Rahu Kaal, but the daytime window is the one checked before starting new work.
