Rahu Kaal calculator
Find Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika and Abhijit Muhurta for any city and any date, computed astronomically from that day's sunrise and sunset.
How it works
Daylight is divided into eight equal parts between local sunrise and sunset. Rahu Kalam falls on a different part each weekday (8th on Sunday, 2nd on Monday, 7th on Tuesday, 5th on Wednesday, 6th on Thursday, 4th on Friday, 3rd on Saturday). Because it is tied to the sun, the clock time changes every day and every city.
Frequently asked questions
What is Rahu Kaal?
Rahu Kaal is a daily period of about 90 minutes, one-eighth of the daylight, traditionally avoided for starting new ventures, journeys and purchases. Its timing depends on the weekday and the local sunrise and sunset.
Is Rahu Kaal the same in every city?
No. Because it is an eighth of the local daylight, Rahu Kaal starts and ends at different clock times in every city and shifts through the year with the sun.
