About Rahu Kaal in Poughkeepsie
Poughkeepsie's Rahu Kaal times are calculated from Poughkeepsie's actual local sunrise, which today falls at 6:13 AM EDT (3:43 PM IST). Poughkeepsie is 9h 30m behind IST, so Indian diaspora residents can check this page to see both the local Poughkeepsie 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 Poughkeepsie's specific latitude (41.695°) and longitude (-73.9211°). Today Poughkeepsie has 13 hr 24 min of daylight (sunrise 6:13 AM, sunset 7:37 PMEDT). Poughkeepsie observes Daylight Saving Time, so the IST offset changes twice a year — this site handles that automatically.
Today's Rahu Kaal (9:34 AM–11:14 AM EDT) is calculated from the same local sunrise (6:13 AM EDT) that photography tools use for golden hour: morning 6:13 AM–6:51 AM (38 min) and evening 7:00 PM–7:37 PM (37 min) — all derived from Poughkeepsie's precise coordinates.
