Frequently asked questions
What should not be done in Rahu Kaal?
Traditionally, new beginnings are avoided: starting a business, a journey, a purchase, a ceremony or signing an agreement. Work already in progress can go on.
Is Rahu Kaal at the same time everywhere?
No. It is a fixed part of the day by weekday, but the clock time follows each city's sunrise and sunset.
What are Gulika and Yamaganda?
Like Rahu Kaal, they are one-eighth parts of the day ruled by Saturn's son Gulika and by Yama. Yamaganda is avoided for new work; Gulika is said to repeat whatever is done in it.
