How Rahu Kaal is calculated
The time from local sunrise to sunset is divided into eight equal parts. Rahu Kalam is one of these parts, fixed by the weekday:
| Weekday | Part of daytime |
|---|---|
| Monday | 2nd of 8 |
| Tuesday | 7th of 8 |
| Wednesday | 5th of 8 |
| Thursday | 6th of 8 |
| Friday | 4th of 8 |
| Saturday | 3rd of 8 |
| Sunday | 8th of 8 |
Because sunrise and sunset change daily and differ between cities, Rahu Kalam must be calculated for your own location — a fixed “7:30 to 9:00” table is only approximate. Traditionally new ventures, travel and ceremonies are not started during Rahu Kalam; the practice is strongest in South India.
