ℹ️ What is Rahu Kaal?

Rahu Kaal is an inauspicious period of roughly 90 minutes that occurs every day. It is considered unfavourable for starting new ventures, travel, or important ceremonies such as weddings and business launches.

It is calculated by dividing the time between sunrise and sunset into eight equal parts — the specific part designated as Rahu Kaal depends on the day of the week.

Yamaganda Kaal and Gulika Kaal are two other inauspicious periods based on the same eight-part division of daylight, governed by Yama and Gulika (Mandi) respectively. Like Rahu Kaal, it's best to avoid starting auspicious activities during these windows.
