Rahu kaal today

Rahu kaal is one eighth of the daytime, between sunrise and sunset, that tradition links with Rahu. Many families avoid starting new work, travel or purchases during it.

Its position follows the weekday: on Monday it is the second slot of the day, on Saturday the third, on Friday the fourth, on Wednesday the fifth, on Thursday the sixth, on Tuesday the seventh and on Sunday the eighth. Its length depends on your city's sunrise and sunset.

Yamaganda is another daytime slot traditionally avoided for new starts. Gulika kaal is read differently: tradition says what begins in it tends to repeat, so it is avoided for sad events and sometimes chosen for happy ones.

No. It shifts by a few minutes to half an hour between cities because sunrise differs. Choose your city above.
