About Rahu Kaal in Boston

Boston's Rahu Kaal times are calculated from Boston's actual local sunrise, which today falls at 6:01 AM EDT (3:31 PM IST). Boston is 9h 30m behind IST, so Indian diaspora residents can check this page to see both the local Boston time and the corresponding IST equivalent — useful when coordinating with family in India.

Unlike most panchang apps which show India-based Rahu Kaal, this page calculates the correct inauspicious period for Boston's specific latitude (42.3188°) and longitude (-71.0852°). Today Boston has 13 hr 26 min of daylight (sunrise 6:01 AM, sunset 7:27 PMEDT). Boston observes Daylight Saving Time, so the IST offset changes twice a year — this site handles that automatically.

Today's Rahu Kaal (9:22 AM–11:03 AM EDT) is calculated from the same local sunrise (6:01 AM EDT) that photography tools use for golden hour: morning 6:01 AM–6:39 AM (38 min) and evening 6:49 PM–7:27 PM (38 min) — all derived from Boston's precise coordinates. Photography planner for Boston →
