About Rahu Kaal in Staten Island
Staten Island's Rahu Kaal times are calculated from Staten Island's actual local sunrise, which today falls at 6:16 AM EDT (3:46 PM IST). Staten Island is 9h 30m behind IST, so Indian diaspora residents can check this page to see both the local Staten Island 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 Staten Island's specific latitude (40.5834°) and longitude (-74.1496°). Today Staten Island has 13 hr 20 min of daylight (sunrise 6:16 AM, sunset 7:36 PMEDT). Staten Island observes Daylight Saving Time, so the IST offset changes twice a year — this site handles that automatically.
Today's Rahu Kaal (9:36 AM–11:16 AM EDT) is calculated from the same local sunrise (6:16 AM EDT) that photography tools use for golden hour: morning 6:16 AM–6:52 AM (36 min) and evening 7:00 PM–7:36 PM (36 min) — all derived from Staten Island's precise coordinates.
