Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the Rahu Kaal

What is Rahu Kaal?

Rahu Kaal (also called Rahu Kalam) is an inauspicious time period ruled by the shadow planet Rahu that occurs every day. It lasts approximately 1.5 hours (one-eighth of the daytime). Starting any new or important activity during Rahu Kaal is considered unfavorable in Vedic astrology. The timing varies based on sunrise and sunset at your location.

The daytime (sunrise to sunset) is divided into 8 equal parts. Each segment is assigned to a planet. The Rahu Kaal period is the segment assigned to Rahu, which changes each day of the week: Monday (7:30-9:00 approx), Saturday (9:00-10:30), Friday (10:30-12:00), Wednesday (12:00-1:30), Thursday (1:30-3:00), Tuesday (3:00-4:30), Sunday (4:30-6:00). Exact times depend on local sunrise and sunset.

Avoid starting new ventures, signing contracts, performing ceremonies, beginning travel, or making important purchases during Rahu Kaal. However, ongoing activities can continue. Worship of Goddess Durga or Lord Shiva during Rahu Kaal is considered to nullify its negative effects. Routine daily activities are generally not affected.
