RAHU KAAL
Rahukalam Yamagandam & Varjyam According to Vedic astrology, certain parts of the day, called Rahu Kalam, are inauspicious periods and one should not undertake any auspicious work during these periods – especially any new undertaking. Rahu kaal differs according to place and on Sun-rise & Sun-set time. The day duration from Sun-rise to Sun-set, at a particular place , is divided into 8 equal parts. There is no Rahu Kaal during the first part of any weekday. On Monday it falls on the 2nd part, Saturday 3rd part, Friday 4th part, Wednesday 5th part, Thursday 6th part, Tuesday 7th part & Sunday 8th part. The following are the details of the Rahu kaal (also known as rahukalam or rahu kal) part in operation during the various week days. This is based on 6:00 AM local Sun-rise time and 6:00PM local Sun-set time. If the Sun-rise and Sun-set times are different, you can take the Day duration, divide it in to 8 equal parts and apply the above given formula. Since the Rahu Kaal is according to the Sun-rise and Sun-set times of your particular place location, you must calculate it for each day using the bellow method.
