Rahu Kalam, also written as Rahu Kaal, Rahu Kala or Rahu Kaalam, is a daily daytime period used in Hindu Muhurta practice. The exact clock time is not fixed. It is calculated from the local Sunrise and Sunset for a specific city and date, which is why Rahu Kaal in Kolkata can differ from Rahu Kaal in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai or Bengaluru on the same day.
The daylight period from Sunrise to Sunset is divided into eight equal segments. Rahu occupies a fixed segment according to the weekday: Monday 2nd, Tuesday 7th, Wednesday 5th, Thursday 6th, Friday 4th, Saturday 3rd and Sunday 8th. Since Sunrise and Sunset change every day, exact Rahu Kalam also changes every day.
City-specific calculation matters. Searchers often look for Rahu Kaal today Mumbai, Rahu Kaal today Delhi, Rahu Kalam today Chennai, Rahu Kalam Bangalore, Rahu Kaal Kolkata and similar local timings. Use the quick city navigation or type any Indian city above to recalculate the full schedule from that location's coordinates.
Yamaganda and Gulika are other weekday-based daytime divisions commonly checked alongside Rahu Kalam. They also depend on local Sunrise and Sunset. This page calculates all three together so you do not need to use a fixed generic 6 AM to 6 PM table.
Abhijit Muhurat is the middle, eighth Muhurta when the Sunrise-to-Sunset period is divided into 15 equal parts. Its exact timing therefore changes by season and location. Traditional Muhurta practice does not recommend Abhijit Muhurat on Wednesday, and it is not treated as a universal substitute for purpose-specific marriage or Upanayana Muhurta.
Rahu Kaal is easy to remember approximately by weekday, but its exact minutes drift with daily Sunrise and Sunset. The 15-day table above recalculates every date separately for the selected city, making it useful for planning travel, purchases, meetings, puja or other new beginnings that you prefer to keep outside Rahu Kalam.
The exact time depends on your location, date, local Sunrise and Sunset. Select your city above to get today's exact Rahu Kalam instead of using a fixed national timing.
