About Rahu Kaal in Charleston
Charleston's Rahu Kaal times are calculated from Charleston's actual local sunrise, which today falls at 6:48 AM EDT (4:18 PM IST). Charleston is 9h 30m behind IST, so Indian diaspora residents can check this page to see both the local Charleston 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 Charleston's specific latitude (32.8168°) and longitude (-79.9687°). Today Charleston has 13 hr 2 min of daylight (sunrise 6:48 AM, sunset 7:50 PMEDT). Charleston observes Daylight Saving Time, so the IST offset changes twice a year — this site handles that automatically.
Today's Rahu Kaal (10:03 AM–11:41 AM EDT) is calculated from the same local sunrise (6:48 AM EDT) that photography tools use for golden hour: morning 6:48 AM–7:21 AM (33 min) and evening 7:17 PM–7:50 PM (33 min) — all derived from Charleston's precise coordinates.
