Rahu Kaal is a period of approximately one and a half hours every day that is considered inauspicious for starting new auspicious tasks.

Rahu Kaal Calculation

The time from sunrise to sunset is divided into eight equal parts. Each day of the week has a specific part that is considered Rahu Kaal.

  • Monday — second part
  • Tuesday — seventh part
  • Sunday — eighth part

Avoid These Tasks

Auspicious tasks like starting a new business, Griha Pravesh, commencing a journey, and marriage should not be performed during Rahu Kaal. Ramagya's Panchang shows the exact Rahu Kaal as per your city.
