Rahu Kaal Today in Dehradun
The short answer
Today's Rahu Kaal in Dehradun is 9:07 AM to 10:43 AM (Saturday). It is computed from Dehradun's own sunrise (5:57 AM) and sunset (6:38 PM) — not a single all-India time — which is why it differs from every other city and shifts a little each day. This page recomputes every morning.

How Rahu Kaal is calculated for Dehradun
The span from sunrise to sunset is divided into eight equal parts; the part ruled by Rahu depends on the weekday. On a Saturday, Rahu rules segment 3 — which is why today's window in Dehradun is 9:07 AM–10:43 AM. Because it follows the local sun, Dehradun's Rahu Kaal differs from every other city's and shifts slightly each day.
What Rahu Kaal actually asks of you
Rahu Kaal is not a period of danger; it is a period classically set aside for beginnings. Work already under way continues untouched — a running business, a journey mid-route, treatment already started. What the tradition asks is that you do not start something in this window: signing, launching, the first step of a journey, a purchase you intend to keep.
Two exceptions are long-standing and worth knowing. Anything urgent or medical is never postponed for Rahu Kaal — the tradition does not ask anyone to delay care. And ongoing daily worship, japa and mantra are unaffected; several traditions consider this window suitable for Rahu-related remedies precisely because it is his hour.
If the window falls badly for something that cannot be moved, the practical answer in Dehradun is the one a Panchang gives: use the segments table above to find the nearest clear span on either side, since the day is divided into eight equal parts between local sunrise and sunset.
