Quick Summary: The 3 Daily Kalas

  • Rahu Kalam: The most dangerous time of the day. Causes confusion, delays, and failure. Never start anything new.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Rahu Kalam is an inauspicious period of about 1.5 hours every day, ruled by the shadow planet Rahu. It is strictly avoided for auspicious activities.

Yes, routine and ongoing work can continue. You only need to avoid *starting* new or highly important tasks during this period.

No. The nature of Gulika is 'repetition'. Therefore, starting a good thing (like buying gold or a house) is fine because you want it to repeat. But taking loans, selling property, or funerals must be avoided.
