About Rahu Kaal in Cape Town

Cape Town's Rahu Kaal times are calculated from Cape Town's actual local sunrise, which today falls at 7:10 AM GMT+2 (10:40 AM IST). Cape Town is 3h 30m behind IST, so Indian diaspora residents can check this page to see both the local Cape Town 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 Cape Town's specific latitude (-33.9253°) and longitude (18.4239°). Today Cape Town has 11 hr 12 min of daylight (sunrise 7:10 AM, sunset 6:22 PMGMT+2).

Today's Rahu Kaal (9:58 AM–11:22 AM GMT+2) is calculated from the same local sunrise (7:10 AM GMT+2) that photography tools use for golden hour: morning 7:10 AM–7:44 AM (34 min) and evening 5:48 PM–6:22 PM (34 min) — all derived from Cape Town's precise coordinates.
