About Rahu Kaal in Cincinnati

Cincinnati's Rahu Kaal times are calculated from Cincinnati's actual local sunrise, which today falls at 6:59 AM EDT (4:29 PM IST). Cincinnati is 9h 30m behind IST, so Indian diaspora residents can check this page to see both the local Cincinnati 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 Cincinnati's specific latitude (39.1413°) and longitude (-84.506°). Today Cincinnati has 0 hr of daylight (sunrise 6:59 AM, sunset 8:16 PMEDT). Cincinnati observes Daylight Saving Time, so the IST offset changes twice a year — this site handles that automatically.

Today's Rahu Kaal (4:18 AM–2:57 AM EDT) is calculated from the same local sunrise (6:59 AM EDT) that photography tools use for golden hour: morning 6:59 AM–7:35 AM (36 min) and evening 7:40 PM–8:16 PM (0 min) — all derived from Cincinnati's precise coordinates. Photography planner for Cincinnati →
