Today’s Rahu Kaal timings with the full weekday table, Abhijit Muhurat, Choghadiya sequence, and the rise/set times that anchor every auspicious window.
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is a daily ~90-minute window ruled by Rahu, avoided for auspicious beginnings such as travel, investments, ceremonies, and new ventures. The window shifts with the weekday because it is calculated by dividing the daylight period (sunrise to sunset) into eight parts:
| Weekday | Rahu Kaal window (approx.) |
|---|---|
| Sunday | 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM |
| Monday | 7:30 AM – 9:00 AM |
| Tuesday | 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM |
| Wednesday | 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM |
| Thursday | 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM |
| Friday | 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM |
| Saturday | 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM |
Exact minutes vary by city and date because the division follows local sunrise and sunset — the live panchanga computes your precise window from your location.
Abhijit Muhurat is the eighth muhurta of the day, centered on local noon — roughly 48 minutes around midday. It is considered auspicious for most beginnings even on days with inauspicious periods, except on Wednesday (rule of Abhijit being ruled out in classical practice for some activities). The live tool computes the exact window from your coordinates.
Choghadiya divides day and night into eight ~1.5-hour slots each, named for their favorability. Amrit, Shubh, and Labh are the most auspicious; Rog and Kaal are avoided.
| Cycle | Slot sequence |
|---|---|
| Day (sunrise → sunset) | Amrit → Shubh → Labh → Char → Rog → Kaal → Amrit → Shubh |
| Night (sunset → sunrise) | Shubh → Amrit → Char → Rog → Kaal → Labh → Shubh → Amrit |
Daily panchanga is anchored to sunrise and sunset — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, and every muhurta window are measured between them. Moonrise and moonset matter for fasting rules (ekadashi, purnima, amavasya observations) and night-muhurat timing. Enter your city for today’s exact rise/set times and the full data panel.
