What Rahu kaal is
The daylight hours, sunrise to sunset, are divided into eight equal parts. One part of each weekday is Rahu kaal: the eighth on Sunday, the second on Monday, the seventh on Tuesday, the fifth on Wednesday, the sixth on Thursday, the fourth on Friday and the third on Saturday.
By tradition nothing new is begun in Rahu kaal: no new venture, journey or purchase. Work already under way carries on. Yamaganda and Gulika kaal are other parts of the day read the same way; Abhijit muhurta, around midday, is the auspicious window.
Day length changes with the city and the season, so every city's Rahu kaal is different. These times come from each city's actual sunrise and sunset.
