Rahu Kaal Today

Aaj ka Rahu Kaal for 20 Indian cities, with Yamagandam and Gulika Kaal, from each city's own sunrise and sunset.

What is Rahu Kaal?

Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is a period of about 90 minutes each day that is traditionally avoided for starting anything new. The daytime, from sunrise to sunset, is split into eight equal parts, and Rahu rules a fixed part on each weekday. Yamagandam and Gulika Kaal are worked out the same way.

Because sunrise and sunset change with the city and the season, Rahu Kaal is different in every city and changes slightly every day.

Rahu Kaal is for everyone. How is Rahu in your chart?
