Rahu Kaal in your city
Rahu Kaal is not a fixed clock time. It is one eighth of the daylight, and which eighth depends on the weekday. That is why a printed table that says "Monday 7:30 to 9:00" is only right for a day that runs exactly from 6 am to 6 pm. Here the tool uses the real sunrise and sunset of your city on the date you choose, so the answer is the one a careful panchang would give. Below the result you also see Gulika Kaal and Yamaganda (the other two inauspicious periods in the South Indian tradition), Abhijit muhurat (the midday window considered favourable) and the sixteen Choghadiya of the day and night.
Choose a city from the list for a page with a table for every weekday in every season, or use your location. Everything is calculated on your device; nothing about you is stored or sent. Read what Rahu Kaal is and how it is calculated if you are new to it.

Questions people ask
What is Rahu Kaal?
Rahu Kaal is a stretch of about one and a half hours every day that the Hindu panchang tradition marks as unfavourable for starting new work. It moves through the day with the weekday: on Monday it falls in the second of eight parts of the daylight, on Saturday in the third, and so on.
Is the time the same in every city?
No. It depends on sunrise and sunset, so it changes with the city and the season. Delhi and Chennai can differ by half an hour or more on the same day, and the length of Rahu Kaal itself is one eighth of the daylight, so it is shorter in winter than in summer in the north.
Does this site tell me what to do?
No. It shows the traditional timings. Whether to follow them is your choice and your family's custom. We do not predict anything.
