Today's Inauspicious Timings (Kalas)

Every day has specific time periods ruled by the shadow planets Rahu and Ketu, which are considered highly unfavorable for new beginnings. Find the exact Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam, and Gulika Kalam timings based on your local sunrise and sunset to plan your day safely.

Quick Summary: The 3 Daily Kalas

  • Rahu Kalam: The most dangerous time of the day. Causes confusion, delays, and failure. Never start anything new.
  • Yamagandam: The 'Death Time'. Activities started here end in failure or cause prolonged suffering.
  • Gulika Kalam: The time of 'Delay & Repetition'. Good for buying a house (it repeats), but bad for taking loans or holding funerals.

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.
