What is Rahu Kalam?
Rahu Kalam (with its siblings Yamaganda and Gulika Kalam) is one of the eight equal divisions of the daytime arc between sunrise and sunset. Which eighth is assigned to each window depends only on the weekday, per the standard published panchanga tables — our engine applies those tables to the city's actual sun times, so the windows track the seasons. Tradition avoids beginning new ventures inside these windows; routine work is not restricted.
