Inauspicious period ruled by shadow planet Rahu. Avoid new beginnings and important activities.
Rahu Kaal, also spelled as Rahu Kalam or Rahu Kal, is an inauspicious period of approximately 90 minutes that occurs every day. Named after the shadow planet Rahu in Vedic astrology, this time is considered unfavorable for initiating new activities, ventures, or important tasks.
Rahu is one of the nine celestial bodies (Navagrahas) in Hindu astrology and represents the ascending lunar node. While not a physical planet, Rahu is believed to have powerful influences on human affairs. The time under Rahu's influence is thought to bring obstacles, delays, and unexpected challenges to new beginnings.
However, it's important to note that Rahu Kaal is not a time to avoid all activities—only the initiation of new endeavors. Ongoing work, routine activities, and spiritual practices can continue without concern.
Rahu Kaal is deeply rooted in Vedic astrology and panchang tradition. Ancient texts advise avoiding auspicious activities during this period to prevent potential obstacles and ensure smooth progress. The timing changes each day based on the day of the week and the sunrise time.
Rahu Kaal is calculated by dividing the time between sunrise and sunset into 8 equal parts (each part is one muhurta). The period varies by day of the week: Monday (2nd period), Tuesday (7th), Wednesday (5th), Thursday (6th), Friday (4th), Saturday (3rd), Sunday (8th).

Monday: 2nd period (early morning)
