What is Rahu Kalam?
Rahu Kalam (రాహు కాలం) is a period of approximately 1.5 hours each day considered inauspicious in Hindu astrology. During this time, Rahu — the shadow planet associated with deception and obstacles — exerts a negative influence. Starting new ventures, travel, important meetings, or auspicious ceremonies during Rahu Kalam is traditionally avoided.
The daylight hours (sunrise to sunset) are divided into 8 equal slots of 1.5 hours each. Rahu Kalam falls in a different slot each day of the week, following the sequence: Sunday (slot 8), Monday (slot 2), Tuesday (slot 7), Wednesday (slot 5), Thursday (slot 6), Friday (slot 4), Saturday (slot 3).
Since Rahu Kalam is calculated from local sunrise, the exact time varies by city and changes daily. Use this page to get the precise timing for Schaumburg, IL.
