Rahu Kaal


Rahu is a planet of separation. It is rahu who was given a boon that he will cause eclipse from time to time. It is a natural malefic planet. The kaal means “the period of time”. It is believe that certain duration of each day is inauspicious which is rule by Rahu. During this time one should avoid any auspicious action such as investments, business transactions, journeys and medical treatments. It is believed that work done during this period does not bring successful results..In hindu jyotish the day begins when the sun rises. The difference between time of sunset and sunrise indicate the length of day called as Dinmaan. Divide the Dinmaan by 8. We get 1/8 th portion of a day. Now for various days the portion ruled by rahu is given below.
For Sunday , the 8th portion from the sunrise is Ruled by Rahu
For Monday the 2nd portion is called Rahu Kaal
For Tuesdays - 7th portion is Rahu Kaala
For Wednesday - 5th portion is Rahu Kaala
For Thursday - 6 th portion is Rahu Kaala
For Friday - 4 th portion is Rahu Kaala
For Saturday -3rd portion is Rahu Kaala

For Example

For Monday if the sunrise in Delhi is at 6.30am and sun set is 5.50 pm, then the Dinmaan will be (5.50pm-6.30 am) of 11 hrs and 20 mints equivalent to 680 mints. Divide it by 8, we will get duration of each portion of 85 minutes (1 hr & 25 mints.).
Portion 1 from sunrise(6.30) to 7.55 am
Portion 2 from 7.55 am to 9.20 am
Portion 3 from 9.20 am to 10.45 am
Portion 4 from 10.45 am to 12.10 pm
Portion 5 from 12.10 pm to 1.35 pm
Portion 6 from 1.35 pm to 3.00 pm
Portion 7 from 3.00 pm to 4.25 pm
Portion 8 from 4.25 pm to 5.50 pm
As per rule on Monday 2nd portion is rahu kaal. Therefore from 7.55 am to 9.20 am is rahu kaal
