Frequently asked questions
- What is Rahu Kalam today?
- Today (Tuesday, October 13, 2026), Rahu Kalam is from 2:58 PM to 4:27 PM IST. Yamagandam is 9:05 AM to 10:33 AM and Gulika Kalam is 12:02 PM to 1:30 PM. Times are for India (IST); on the interactive page they adjust to your city.
- How is Rahu Kalam calculated?
- The time from sunrise to sunset is divided into 8 equal parts. Which part is Rahu Kalam depends on the weekday: 8th part on Sunday, 2nd on Monday, 7th on Tuesday, 5th on Wednesday, 6th on Thursday, 4th on Friday and 3rd on Saturday. Because sunrise and sunset shift daily and by city, the exact times change every day.
- What should be avoided during Rahu Kalam?
- Tradition avoids starting anything new during Rahu Kalam — journeys, business openings, house-warming, weddings, signing agreements or major purchases. Routine ongoing work is not affected. Yamagandam and Gulika Kalam are similarly avoided for new beginnings.
- What is Abhijit Muhurtam and when is it today?
- Abhijit Muhurtam is the auspicious midday window — the 8th of the day's 15 muhurtas. Today it is from 11:38 AM to 12:25 PM IST. It is considered good for starting new work when no other muhurtam is available (traditionally not observed on Wednesdays).
- What is Brahma Muhurtam time today?
- Brahma Muhurtam today is 4:32 AM to 5:20 AM IST — the pre-dawn window from 96 to 48 minutes before sunrise, considered ideal for prayer, meditation and study.
