Rahu Kaal Today
Find Rahu Kaal calculated from your city's actual local sunrise — not a generic India-wide estimate. Every city has different sunrise times, so every city has different Rahu Kaal.
What is Rahu Kaal?
Rahu Kaal (also spelled Rahukalam or Rahu Kalam) is a daily inauspicious period in Hindu tradition, observed across most communities in India and by the Indian diaspora worldwide. It corresponds to one of eight equal segments of the daytime (sunrise to sunset), with the specific segment varying by weekday.
The critical point that most panchang websites miss: Rahu Kaal must be calculated from each city's own sunrise, not from any India reference point. A person in Dubai, Toronto, or London experiences a completely different sunrise — and therefore a completely different Rahu Kaal — than someone in Chennai or Delhi. This site calculates every city's Rahu Kaal from its precise astronomical sunrise.
