About Rahu Kaal in Lafayette
Lafayette's Rahu Kaal times are calculated from Lafayette's actual local sunrise, which today falls at 6:39 AM CDT (5:09 PM IST). Lafayette is 10h 30m behind IST, so Indian diaspora residents can check this page to see both the local Lafayette 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 Lafayette's specific latitude (30.2082°) and longitude (-92.0325°). Today Lafayette has 0 hr of daylight (sunrise 6:39 AM, sunset 7:36 PMCDT). Lafayette observes Daylight Saving Time, so the IST offset changes twice a year — this site handles that automatically.
Today's Rahu Kaal (3:53 AM–2:30 AM CDT) is calculated from the same local sunrise (6:39 AM CDT) that photography tools use for golden hour: morning 6:39 AM–7:11 AM (32 min) and evening 7:04 PM–7:36 PM (32 min) — all derived from Lafayette's precise coordinates.
