About Rahu Kaal in Zanzibar
Zanzibar's Rahu Kaal times are calculated from Zanzibar's actual local sunrise, which today falls at 6:24 AM GMT+3 (8:54 AM IST). Zanzibar is 2h 30m behind IST, so Indian diaspora residents can check this page to see both the local Zanzibar 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 Zanzibar's specific latitude (-6.165°) and longitude (39.199°). Today Zanzibar has 11 hr 58 min of daylight (sunrise 6:24 AM, sunset 6:22 PMGMT+3).
Today's Rahu Kaal (9:23 AM–10:53 AM GMT+3) is calculated from the same local sunrise (6:24 AM GMT+3) that photography tools use for golden hour: morning 6:24 AM–6:52 AM (28 min) and evening 5:54 PM–6:22 PM (28 min) — all derived from Zanzibar's precise coordinates.
