राहु काल क्या है? — What is Rahu Kaal?

Rahu Kaal (राहु काल) is a 90-minute inauspicious time period that occurs once every day, ruled by the shadow planet Rahu. According to Hindu astrology, starting any new or auspicious activity during Rahu Kaal is considered unfavorable as it is believed to bring obstacles and failure to the endeavor.

The day is divided into 8 equal parts from sunrise to sunset. Rahu Kaal occupies one of these parts — the position varies by day of the week. The exact timing therefore shifts with sunrise, making city-specific calculation important.
