Most "Rahu Kaal today" tables online are copied for one city and reused everywhere. That is astronomically wrong: Rahu Kaal is the weekday-fixed one-eighth segment of the actual daylight between your city's sunrise and sunset — so Kochi and Amritsar can differ by half an hour on the same date. This tool computes the Sun's rise and set for the city and date you pick (standard solar equations, IST) and derives Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika Kaal and the auspicious Abhijit Muhurat from it — the same first step Dr. R.P. Sharma's desk applies before fixing any muhurat.
Reading it is simple: burgundy-tinted bands are the windows to avoid beginning important work in; the gold band (Abhijit, skipped on Wednesdays by tradition) is a dependable daily window when no better electional muhurat is available. The band marked now is live for today.
Frequently asked questions
What is Rahu Kaal and why does it change by city?
Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the actual daylight, positioned by weekday (e.g. 4th segment on Friday, 8th on Sunday). Since sunrise and sunset shift with latitude, longitude and season, the window genuinely differs city to city and day to day — which is why this tool computes it instead of copying a table.
Which activities are avoided in Rahu Kaal?
Tradition avoids beginning new ventures, journeys, purchases or ceremonies in Rahu Kaal. Routine ongoing work is not stopped. Yamaganda and Gulika are treated similarly by careful electional astrologers.
What is Abhijit Muhurat?
The 15th muhurta of the day — roughly 24 minutes either side of local solar noon. It is widely used as a reliable daily window for auspicious starts, except on Wednesdays, when tradition sets it aside.
Is Rahu Kaal the same as an inauspicious day?
No. It is a short daily window, not a verdict on the whole day. For genuinely important dates — marriage, griha pravesh, business launch — a full muhurat should be fixed from the panchang and your own kundli.
What time is rahu kaal today in my city?
Select your city above — the tool computes today's exact rahu kaal window from local sunrise and sunset, for any city worldwide, free.
Why does rahu kaal differ city to city?
It is one-eighth of the daytime, positioned by weekday — since sunrise and sunset vary by location and season, the window shifts with your city.

About Dr. Sharma's Experience
Is avoiding today's Rahu Kaal enough for an important personal decision?
This Rahu Kaal window is the same for everyone in your city on a given day — a useful general precaution, not a personalised muhurat. For a timing chosen specifically around your own chart, a consultation is worth it.
