Rahu Kalam or Inauspicious Times
It has been believed from the Vedic Age and has been observed even presently that there are certain times of the day called Rahu Kalam, which is believed to be an ill-omened time period of the day. During this time frame one should avoid any auspicious action such as investments, business transactions, asset purchases, journeys, relationships, meetings and medical treatments.
Rahu Kalam
Rahu Kalam is an inauspicious time period for a particular day. It is one-eighth part of the difference between the Sun set and Sun rise time of a particular place for specific day of a week. The Rahu Kalam time period and its order vary from day to day.
Inauspicious time for October 2008
For calculating exact Rahu Kalam for your place of residence, please use the local sunrise and sun set times.

How is Rahu Kalam Calculated
The following example illustrates the method to calculate Rahu Kalam for a particular day of the week.
Consider the uniform sunrise time as 6:00a.m.and sunset as 6:00 p.m. The Rahu Kalam will be of hour and a half duration for every day. In the figure below, count from Rahu Kalam as 1st period, Monday 2nd period, Saturday 3rd period, Friday 4th period, Wednesday 5th period, Thursday 6th period, Tuesday 7th period and Sunday 8th period. Thus, there is no Rahu Kalam in the first period of any day of the week.
| Sun rise 6:00 AM/Sun set 6:00 PM |
