Part 3 of 8
Rahu Kaal on Saturday
On Saturday, Rahu Kaal is the third of the eight equal parts of daylight. The part is fixed by the weekday and never moves; the clock time it lands on is different in every city and on every Saturday of the year, because it is measured from local sunrise.
The Saturday Rahu Kaal rule
Take the time from sunrise to sunset and divide it into eight equal parts. On Saturday the third part is Rahu Kaal. In summer each part is longer than in winter, so the window is longer too — it is a fraction of the daylight, never a fixed ninety minutes.

Rahu Kaal for all seven weekdays
The part number is the rule; nothing about it depends on the date, the city or the year.
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.
Timing guidance here is a framework for planning, not medical, legal or financial advice. Never delay medical care for a timing window.
Common questions about Rahu Kaal on Saturday
What time is Rahu Kaal on Saturday?
There is no single clock time. On Saturday Rahu Kaal is the third of the eight equal parts of daylight, so the answer depends on your city's sunrise and sunset that day. The city table above gives the window for twelve cities.
Which part of the day is Rahu Kaal on Saturday?
Part 3 of 8, counting from sunrise. That number is fixed by the weekday and does not change with the city, the season or the year.
Is Rahu Kaal on Saturday always the same length?
No. It is one eighth of that day's daylight, so it is longer in summer and shorter in winter, and longer in a city with a longer day. Ninety minutes is an average, not the rule.
Does Rahu Kaal apply at night as well?
The window on this page is the daylight one, which is what almanacs publish and what the queries ask for. Some traditions divide the night into eight parts as well; this site computes and publishes the daylight rule.
