Question 1

What is Rahu Kaal?

Accepted Answer

Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is a daily inauspicious time period of approximately 90 minutes associated with the shadow planet Rahu. It occurs once each day and is calculated by dividing daylight hours into 8 equal segments.

Question 2

Which day has the worst Rahu Kaal?

Accepted Answer

Sunday's Rahu Kaal falls in the 8th segment (late afternoon, around 4:30–6:00 PM) and Tuesday's falls in the 7th (around 3:00–4:30 PM). However, all Rahu Kaal periods are equally inauspicious — none is considered worse than the others.

Question 3

What should I avoid during Rahu Kaal?

Accepted Answer

Avoid starting new ventures, signing contracts, beginning journeys, performing marriage ceremonies, purchasing property, or making major financial decisions during Rahu Kaal.

Question 4

Is Rahu Kaal on Sunday really bad?

Accepted Answer

All Rahu Kaal periods are equally inauspicious regardless of the day. The Sunday Rahu Kaal falls later in the day (8th segment), which may be more noticeable as it often falls during active hours.
