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.

Rahu Kaal in New Delhi is a daily period of roughly 90 minutes that tradition assigns to the shadow planet Rahu and avoids for starting new work. It occupies one-eighth of the daylight between the city's own sunrise and sunset, so the window shifts with each of the 7 weekdays.

The Engine Behind This Reading
Today's Rahu Kaal is computed by the same astronomical engine a serious Jyotishi relies on — the Swiss Ephemeris, which fixes every planet's position to sub-arcsecond precision, read against the Lahiri ayanamsa (the sidereal zodiac Vedic astrology uses). No fixed-calendar shortcuts, no rounded almanac tables.
We calibrate that engine to within ±5 minutes on every time-of-day value, and an exact match on tithi and nakshatra names — so the figures you read here are the same ones your family astrologer would quote from the panchang.
