About Rahu Kaal(राहु काल के बारे में)
Rahu Kaal (राहु काल) is one of the three inauspicious daily periods in Vedic astrology, alongside Yamagandam and Gulika Kaal. It lasts approximately 90 minutes each day and is ruled by the shadow planet Rahu — the north node of the Moon. Most Hindus avoid starting new ventures, signing documents, or beginning journeys during this period.
The timing of Rahu Kaal changes every day because it depends on the day of the week and your local sunrise and sunset times. Our calculator uses the same astronomical engine (Swiss Ephemeris with Lahiri Ayanamsa) as the Muhurat Calculator and Daily Panchang to give you precise, location-aware timings.

What is Rahu Kaal?
Rahu Kaal (राहु काल) is the period of approximately 90 minutes each day that is governed by Rahu, the north lunar node. According to Vedic tradition, activities initiated during Rahu Kaal are prone to unexpected obstacles, delays, and complications due to Rahu's shadow nature. This inauspicious period divides the daylight hours (sunrise to sunset) into 8 equal parts, with Rahu ruling a different part on each day of the week.
In Udaipur, the exact timing of Rahu Kaal shifts with the seasonal sunrise time. During summer months when the sun rises early (around 5:54 AM), Rahu Kaal starts earlier. During winter months, it starts later. The live calculator above is automatically calibrated to Udaipur's exact latitude and longitude for the most accurate timing.
UdaipurFestivals & Rahu Kaal Awareness
During Udaipur's major festivals — Diwali, Navratri, Holi — traditional families carefully avoid initiating new rituals during Rahu Kaal. Pujas, yajnas, and auspicious ceremonies are timed to begin in Amrit or Shubh Choghadiya periods. The Rahu Kaal calculator is one of the most consulted tools during festival seasons.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is today's Rahu Kaal in Udaipur?
Rahu Kaal in Udaipur changes daily based on the day of the week and actual sunrise time. Udaipur's sunrise ranges from 5:54 AM–7:16 AM across the year. The calculator above shows today's exact Rahu Kaal for Udaipur's coordinates (Rajasthan). Rahu Kaal lasts approximately 90 minutes each day and occurs at different times depending on the weekday.
Which activities should be avoided during Rahu Kaal in Udaipur?
During Rahu Kaal, traditionally avoid: starting new businesses or ventures, purchasing property, signing legal documents, beginning travel (especially long-distance), conducting marriage ceremonies, or beginning important medical treatments. Emergency activities, routine work, worship, and ongoing tasks are not affected by Rahu Kaal. Udaipur residents commonly use this calculator before scheduling important appointments.
Which day has no Rahu Kaal?
According to traditional Jyotish, there is no day that is completely free from Rahu Kaal — every day has one Rahu Kaal period lasting approximately 90 minutes. However, Sunday's Rahu Kaal (governed by the Sun, Rahu's natural enemy) is considered particularly intense. Wednesday (Mercury day) and Thursday (Jupiter day) Rahu Kaals are considered somewhat milder.
Is Rahu Kaal the same across all Indian cities including Udaipur?
No. Rahu Kaal is calculated based on local sunrise time, which differs across India. Udaipur's sunrise (5:54 AM–7:16 AM) differs from cities in other time zones within India. For example, Kolkata's sunrise is 60–90 minutes earlier than Mumbai's. Using a city-specific Rahu Kaal calculator like this one, calibrated to Udaipur's exact coordinates, gives accurate results.
