How Rahu Kalam is calculated
- Daylight (sunrise to sunset at your place) is divided into eight equal parts.
- Rahu Kalam is the 8th part on Sunday, 2nd on Monday, 7th on Tuesday, 5th on Wednesday, 6th on Thursday, 4th on Friday and 3rd on Saturday.
- Because daylight is longer in summer and shorter in winter, Rahu Kalam is about 1 h 30 min on average but varies from roughly 1 h 20 min to 1 h 45 min.
Sunday: part 8 of 8 · Monday: part 2 of 8 · Tuesday: part 7 of 8 · Wednesday: part 5 of 8 · Thursday: part 6 of 8 · Friday: part 4 of 8 · Saturday: part 3 of 8
Calculated from the Sun and Moon positions for your place with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa, in IST. Vrat and festival days follow the rules Drik Panchang uses; on our test set of 178 vrat dates and over 1,200 timings they match to the day, and times agree within a minute.
Frequently asked questions
What should not be done during Rahu Kalam?
Traditionally, new ventures, journeys, signing agreements, starting construction, buying a vehicle or property and auspicious ceremonies are not begun in Rahu Kalam. Work already in progress continues as usual, and prayers to Durga or Rahu are considered good at this time.
Is Rahu Kalam the same everywhere in India?
No. It depends on local sunrise and sunset, which differ by over an hour across India. That is why this calculator asks for your city.
Is Rahu Kalam observed at night?
The widely followed rule applies to daytime only. Some traditions also mark a night Rahu Kalam, but most people check only the daytime period.
