GoodAvoidNowAbout this page
Rahu Kaal is a roughly 90-minute part of the day that tradition treats as unfavourable for new beginnings. It is found by dividing daytime, sunrise to sunset, into eight equal parts; the weekday picks the part: 2nd on Monday, 7th on Tuesday, 5th on Wednesday, 6th on Thursday, 4th on Friday, 3rd on Saturday and 8th on Sunday.
That is why Rahu Kaal moves every day and differs between cities. Fixed charts such as "Monday 7:30–9:00 AM" assume sunrise at exactly 6 AM. Sunrise in Delhi today is at 6:16 AM, so the actual Rahu Kaal is 7:44 AM – 9:12 AM.
South India gives Rahu Kaal special weight and also checks Yamaganda and Gulika Kaal, which come from the same eighths of the day.
Questions people ask
What time is Rahu Kaal today?
In Delhi, Rahu Kaal today is 7:44 AM – 9:12 AM.
Can I do puja during Rahu Kaal?
Daily prayer can be done at any time. Tradition avoids Rahu Kaal only for starting something new, such as griha pravesh, a new business, a journey or a big purchase.
Why is Rahu Kaal different in every city?
Because it comes from local sunrise and sunset. Cities further east see the Sun earlier, so their Rahu Kaal also comes earlier.
