Three caution periods are calculated by dividing the time between sunrise and sunset into eight equal parts. They shift with your local sunrise, so they are different in every city and different every day.

How Rahu Kaal is calculated
Everything above comes from the same computation behind today's full Panchang, using Swiss Ephemeris positions and your city's actual coordinates rather than a national average.
For what these periods mean and how they are traditionally used — including their limits — read the Rahu Kaal guide. For choosing a time deliberately, see how muhurta is actually chosen.
The slow transits work on a different scale entirely — Saturn and Jupiter change sign in years rather than in hours. Shani Gochar, Guru Gochar, Rahu Ketu Gochar, Sade Sati, Mercury retrograde.
Timing guidance here is a framework for planning, not medical, legal or financial advice. Never delay medical care for a timing window.
Rahu Kaal questions, answered
What time does Rahu Kaal start in Puri today?
The table above starts at sunrise in Puri, which is 5:39 AM today. Every window on this page is measured from that sunrise, so the first period begins there rather than at midnight.
Why is Rahu Kaal different in Puri than in Delhi?
Because the periods are divisions of the time between Puri's own sunrise and sunset, not a national table. Sunrise differs across India by well over an hour, so a time computed for Delhi is wrong in Puri by a meaningful margin.
How many Rahu Kaal periods are there?
4 are listed above for Puri — the full set covering the daylight period this tool divides.
Rahu Kaal in other cities
These windows are derived from local sunrise, so they differ by city. A time computed for Delhi is wrong in Chennai by a meaningful margin.
