All times are computed with the Swiss Ephemeris from each city's local sunrise and sunset, in Indian Standard Time (IST); the page refreshes automatically every day.
When daytime (sunrise to sunset) is divided into eight equal parts, one fixed part on each weekday is assigned to Rahu — that is Rahu Kaal. It usually lasts about an hour and a half, shrinking and growing with the seasons. It is followed most strictly in South India, but across the country people avoid starting new work in it.
Rahu Kaal is the 2nd part on Monday, 3rd on Saturday, 4th on Friday, 5th on Wednesday, 6th on Thursday, 7th on Tuesday and the 8th (last) part on Sunday. With a 6 am sunrise that means 4:30–6:00 pm on Sunday and 7:30–9:00 am on Monday — but the real time shifts with sunrise.
Like Rahu Kaal, the eight parts of the day also contain Yamaganda (Yama's part) and Gulika Kaal (the part of Gulika, son of Saturn). Yamaganda is avoided just like Rahu Kaal; whatever is done in Gulika Kaal tends to repeat — so it suits good work and is avoided for last rites.
Today (23 October 2026) Rahu Kaal in Delhi is 10:41 AM – 12:06 PM. Timings for other cities are in the table below.
Do not start a new business, a journey, a house-warming, a purchase, an engagement or any auspicious work. Work already running, your job and daily routine are not affected.
Yes — Rahu shanti, Durga worship and japa are done even in Rahu Kaal; in South India many people light the Durga lamp precisely in Rahu Kaal. The restriction is only on beginning new worldly work.
Because it is divided from that city's own sunrise and sunset. On the same day Chennai's and Delhi's Rahu Kaal can differ by 20 to 40 minutes.
