About Rahu Kaal(राहु काल के बारे में)
About Rahu Kaal(राहु काल के बारे में)
Rahu Kaal (राहु काल) is one of the three inauspicious daily periods in Vedic astrology, alongside Yamagandam and Gulika Kaal. It lasts approximately 90 minutes each day and is ruled by the shadow planet Rahu — the north node of the Moon. Most Hindus avoid starting new ventures, signing documents, or beginning journeys during this period.
The timing of Rahu Kaal changes every day because it depends on the day of the week and your local sunrise and sunset times. Our calculator uses the same astronomical engine (Swiss Ephemeris with Lahiri Ayanamsa) as the Muhurat Calculator and Daily Panchang to give you precise, location-aware timings.

What is Rahu Kaal?
Rahu Kaal (राहु काल) is the period of approximately 90 minutes each day that is governed by Rahu, the north lunar node. According to Vedic tradition, activities initiated during Rahu Kaal are prone to unexpected obstacles, delays, and complications due to Rahu's shadow nature. This inauspicious period divides the daylight hours (sunrise to sunset) into 8 equal parts, with Rahu ruling a different part on each day of the week.
In Aizawl, the exact timing of Rahu Kaal shifts with the seasonal sunrise time. During summer months when the sun rises early (around 4:36), Rahu Kaal starts earlier. During winter months, it starts later. The live calculator above is automatically calibrated to Aizawl's exact latitude and longitude for the most accurate timing.
Aizawl's solar year — sunrise, sunset and day length
In Aizawl the longest day runs 13h 27m (June) and the shortest 10h 33m (December) — a seasonal swing of 2h 54m. Solar noon falls −41m from the 12:00 clock hour because Aizawl sits at 92.72°E rather than on the 82.5°E IST meridian. Every Tithi, Nakshatra and Rahu Kaal window on this page is derived from that sunrise, not from a national average.
