About Rahu Kaal in Philadelphia

Philadelphia's Rahu Kaal times are calculated from Philadelphia's actual local sunrise, which today falls at 6:20 AM EDT (3:50 PM IST). Philadelphia is 9h 30m behind IST, so Indian diaspora residents can check this page to see both the local Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia's specific latitude (40.0077°) and longitude (-75.1339°). Today Philadelphia has 13 hr 20 min of daylight (sunrise 6:20 AM, sunset 7:40 PMEDT). Philadelphia observes Daylight Saving Time, so the IST offset changes twice a year — this site handles that automatically.

Today's Rahu Kaal (9:40 AM–11:20 AM EDT) is calculated from the same local sunrise (6:20 AM EDT) that photography tools use for golden hour: morning 6:20 AM–6:57 AM (37 min) and evening 7:03 PM–7:40 PM (37 min) — all derived from Philadelphia's precise coordinates.
