Rahu Kaal on Wednesday
Which part of the day it is, and the time in 30 large cities through the year.
Wednesday belongs to Mercury (Budha). Rahu Kaal is the fifth part of the day, around midday and the early afternoon, so it overlaps the lunch break in many offices.
The rule is the same in every place: cut the time from sunrise to sunset into eight equal parts and take part number 5. On a day that runs exactly from 6 am to 6 pm each part is 90 minutes, so the textbook answer for Wednesday is 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm. Real days are never exactly 12 hours, and sunrise in Delhi is not sunrise in Chennai, so the table below gives the times in the 30 largest Indian cities for the middle of January, April, July and October 2027.
Cities in the north and west, where days change more through the year, move the most between the columns; cities near the equator hardly move. Open a city for its full weekday table or for today's time, or see how the times are calculated.
