What is Rahu Kalam in Vedic Astrology?
In Vedic Panchang, Rahu Kalam (also spelled Rahu Kaal) is a daily period of approximately 90 minutes governed by Rahu, the northern lunar shadow node. According to classical Jyotish, any new, auspicious, or commercial endeavor initiated during this window is fraught with unexpected obstacles, illusions, misunderstandings, or setbacks.
How Rahu Kalam is Calculated
The daytime period between local sunrise and local sunset is divided into 8 equal parts (Muhurtas), each roughly 90 minutes long (varying slightly with seasonal daylight hours). Each part is allocated to a celestial influence, with Rahu ruling a specific slot depending on the day of the week:
What to Do and What to Avoid During Rahu Kaal

- Permitted & Beneficial: Spiritual meditation, recitations of Durga Saptashati or Shiva mantras, and continuing work that was already begun before Rahu Kaal commenced.
