What is Rahu Kaal?
In Vaidik astrology, each day is divided into eight parts from local sunrise. One segment is ruled by Rahu and is traditionally avoided for auspicious work such as marriages, griha pravesh, vehicle purchase, and major contracts. Routine office work and daily chores are generally fine.
Because sunrise differs by city, Delhi rahu kaal is not the same clock time as Mumbai rahu kaal or Bengaluru rahu kaal. Always check the panchang for your location.
Weekday pattern (the eighth that is rahu kaal)
Traditional tables split daytime into eight parts. One part is rahu kaal, assigned by weekday. The clock still needs today’s sunrise and sunset for Prayagraj. Memorising only “Tuesday afternoon” is not enough.
| Weekday | Daytime part | Typical clock neighbourhood |
|---|---|---|
| Sunday | 8th part (last eighth of daytime) | late afternoon toward sunset |
| Monday | 2nd part of daytime | early morning after sunrise |
| Tuesday | 7th part of daytime | mid-to-late afternoon |
| Wednesday | 5th part of daytime | early afternoon |
| Thursday | 6th part of daytime | mid-afternoon |
| Friday | 3rd part of daytime | late morning |
| Saturday | 1st part of daytime | just after sunrise |
What to avoid during Rahu Kaal
- Starting long journeys or flights when optional
- Signing property or high-value financial agreements
- Muhurta-sensitive ceremonies (wedding, mundan, opening a shop)
- Important medical elective procedures when alternatives exist

Frequently asked questions
Is Rahu Kaal the same every day?
No. The clock window moves with the weekday and local sunrise. Check today's timing for your city on this page or the full panchang.
Can I work during Rahu Kaal?
Yes for ordinary tasks. Tradition mainly discourages starting new auspicious ventures in this window.
How is Rahu Kaal calculated?
Daytime from sunrise to sunset is split into eight parts; one part is assigned to Rahu based on the weekday. City latitude/longitude shifts sunrise, so timings differ.
