Frequently Asked Questions
What is Rahu Kalam in Delhi?
Rahu Kalam is the eighth of the daylight ruled each day by the malefic shadow planet Rahu, roughly ninety minutes long — considered inauspicious for new ventures, travel, signing contracts, marriage, business launches, and any major life decision. In Delhi (ఢిల్లీ), the exact Rahu Kalam timing varies daily based on sunrise/sunset times. Sunrise and sunset move through the year, so a single standard time would be wrong for most of it — the window at the top of this page is recomputed for Delhi every morning, and the chart gives the whole week.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated?
Calculate the day duration (sunset minus sunrise) and divide into 8 equal parts. Each weekday's Rahu Kalam falls in a different part — Sunday = 8th part, Monday = 2nd, Tuesday = 7th, Wednesday = 5th, Thursday = 6th, Friday = 4th, Saturday = 3rd. The 1st part (sunrise to ~7:30 AM) is never Rahu Kalam.
What activities to avoid during Rahu Kalam?
Avoid: starting new ventures, signing contracts, marriage ceremonies, business launches, long journeys, financial transactions, surgery (elective), making large purchases, important phone calls or meetings. Do NOT cancel ongoing tasks — Rahu Kalam is bad for STARTING new things, not for continuing what is already in motion.
Why does Rahu Kalam differ in Delhi vs other cities?
Rahu Kalam is calculated from local sunrise/sunset. Delhi (Delhi NCR) has slightly different sunrise/sunset times than other cities. The general "block" (e.g. Tuesday mid-afternoon) is only a rough guide — the chart above gives the exact window for each date; for precise timing, use our daily Panchangam page for Delhi.
Can I do mantra japa during Rahu Kalam?
Yes — spiritual practices including mantra japa, meditation, scripture reading, and personal puja are encouraged during Rahu Kalam. The restriction is on NEW worldly ventures, not spiritual practice. Rahu Kalam is excellent for inner work, study, and self-reflection.
