Period ruled by Gulika (son of Saturn). Inauspicious for ceremonies and new beginnings.
Gulika Kaal, also spelled as Gulika Kalam or Guli Kai, is another inauspicious period in Vedic astrology, lasting approximately 90 minutes each day. Gulika (also called Mandi) is considered a sub-planet or upagraha associated with Saturn (Shani). As the son of Saturn, Gulika carries similar malefic influences during its period.
In Vedic astrology, Gulika represents obstacles, delays, and challenges. While not as widely known as Rahu Kaal, Gulika Kaal is equally important in traditional panchang calculations and is avoided for auspicious activities. The period's influence is believed to create hidden difficulties and unexpected complications in new ventures.
Like other inauspicious periods, Gulika Kaal doesn't prohibit all activities—only the initiation of important new undertakings. Routine work and spiritual practices can continue normally during this time.
Gulika Kaal is rooted in ancient Vedic astrology texts that describe the influence of upagrahas (sub-planets). Traditional astrologers consider Gulika Kaal when creating muhurat recommendations for important life events. The period is particularly noted for its potential to create delays and hidden obstacles.
Gulika Kaal is calculated similarly to Rahu Kaal and Yamaganda by dividing daytime into 8 equal parts. The specific period varies by weekday: Monday (5th), Tuesday (3rd), Wednesday (2nd), Thursday (1st), Friday (6th), Saturday (8th), Sunday (7th).
Sunday: 7th period (late afternoon)
Monday: 5th period (midday)
Tuesday: 3rd period (mid-morning)
Wednesday: 2nd period (early morning)
Thursday: 1st period (morning, after sunrise)
Friday: 6th period (afternoon)
Saturday: 8th period (afternoon, near sunset)
