How Rahu Kaal is calculated for Chennai
The span from sunrise to sunset is divided into eight equal parts; the part ruled by Rahu depends on the weekday. On a Sunday, Rahu rules segment 8 — which is why today's window in Chennai is 5:03 PM–6:38 PM. Because it follows the local sun, Chennai's Rahu Kaal differs from every other city's and shifts slightly each day.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Rahu Kaal time today in Chennai?
Today (Sunday, 26 July 2026) Rahu Kaal in Chennai runs from 5:03 PM to 6:38 PM. It is computed from Chennai's actual sunrise (5:53 AM) and sunset (6:38 PM), so it differs from other cities.
What should be avoided during Rahu Kaal?
New beginnings — starting a journey, a new venture, signing agreements or auspicious ceremonies — are traditionally avoided. Routine ongoing work may continue; Rahu Kaal is a caution window, not a reason for fear.
Is Rahu Kaal the same in every city?
No. It is one-eighth of the local day (sunrise to sunset), so the exact window shifts with each city's sunrise and sunset and changes every day.
