The short answer: Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the day, fixed by weekday. Divide the day, from sunrise to sunset, into 8 equal parts, and Rahu Kaal is the 8th part on Sunday, 2nd on Monday, 7th on Tuesday, 5th on Wednesday, 6th on Thursday, 4th on Friday and 3rd on Saturday. In Bhopal in 2027 it was 80 to 102 minutes. It is a rule of tradition, not a sure bar. Choose the city and date above.

| Result | What It Means |
|---|---|

How Rahu Kaal Is Found · Rahu Kaal Calculator
First the sunrise and sunset of that day are found. The time between them is divided into 8 equal parts.
Then one part is chosen by weekday: Sun 8, Mon 2, Tue 7, Wed 5, Thu 6, Fri 4, Sat 3.
So Rahu Kaal comes at a different time in every city and on every date. A fixed time like "4:30 to 6 every day" is not right.
In summer the day is long, so the parts are long too. That is why in Bhopal it ranged between 80 and 102 minutes.
The Abhijit muhurta is about ±24 minutes around midday, and it is often held good.

Common Beliefs And The Truth · Rahu Kaal Calculator
| Common Belief | The Truth |
|---|---|
| Starting any work in Rahu Kaal brings harm | It is a caution of tradition, not a sure rule. Daily work is not stopped by it. |
| Rahu Kaal comes at the same time every day | No. It changes with city, date and weekday. |
| One must not travel in Rahu Kaal | A fixed journey can be made. Tradition only says to put off a new start. |
| Rahu Kaal is the same in all cities | No. Sunrise is different in each city, so the time is different. |
