Rahu Kalam, Gulika Kalam, and Yamaganda are each one of eight equal divisions of the daytime span (sunrise to sunset), with the specific division depending on the day of the week. All three are traditionally treated as inauspicious windows to avoid for beginning new ventures, travel, or important ceremonies.
Abhijit Muhurat is the eighth of fifteen equal divisions of the same daytime span — the period straddling local solar noon — and is considered one of the most consistently auspicious short windows in the day, used to counteract otherwise inauspicious timing.
Today (Tuesday, 6 October 2026) Rahu Kaal in Varanasi runs from 14:43 to 16:11 IST, calculated from Varanasi's sunrise (05:52) and sunset (17:39).
Rahu Kalam is a roughly 90-minute inauspicious period that occurs once daily, at a different time each weekday, traditionally avoided for starting new ventures, travel, or important events. It is one-eighth of the daytime span from sunrise to sunset.
Abhijit Muhurat is a roughly 48-minute period centered on local solar noon (the eighth of fifteen equal divisions of the daytime span), considered one of the most reliably auspicious short windows of the day.
Rahu Kalam, Gulika Kalam, Yamaganda, Abhijit Muhurat, and Choghadiya are all calculated as fixed fractions of the daytime span between that city's actual sunrise and sunset on the selected date, so both the length and clock time of each window shift with real sunrise/sunset, which differs by location and season.
Sunrise, sunset, and all muhurat windows are computed from real astronomical rise/set times for the selected city and date (Lahiri ayanamsa for tithi/nakshatra/yoga/karana). Muhurat boundary times can shift by a few minutes from other panchang sources depending on the exact sunrise definition and rounding used.
This panchang and its muhurat windows are a general-purpose reference tool for awareness and entertainment, based on standard calculation methods. For decisions on weddings, ceremonies, or other significant life events, consult a qualified astrologer.
