Questions

What is rahu kalam today in Kolkata?

12:49 PM – 2:16 PM Tomorrow: 9:55 AM – 11:22 AM Yamaganda 5:34 AM – 7:01 AM Gulika 8:28 AM – 9:55 AM

What should I avoid during Rahu Kalam?

Starting new things: a journey, a big purchase, signing papers, a new job, or a puja for a new venture. Ongoing work and your daily routine can continue.

Why is Rahu Kalam different every day?

The weekday decides which eighth of the daytime it is, and the length of the day depends on your city's sunrise and sunset.

How is it calculated?

Rahu Kalam is one-eighth of the daytime (sunrise to sunset) and is avoided for starting new work. Which eighth depends on the weekday: Monday 2nd, Saturday 3rd, Friday 4th, Wednesday 5th, Thursday 6th, Tuesday 7th, Sunday 8th. Because it is based on your sunrise and sunset, it is never a fixed clock time.

Is it the same in the USA and India?

Not always. Timings follow each city's own sunrise and sunset, and the day a tithi or vrat is observed can differ between the USA and India.
