Rahu Kaal (avoid new beginnings)
4:59 PM – 6:51 PM
Sunrise 5:46 AM · Sunset 8:43 PM — all times local to Abbotsford
Rahu Kaal is the daily inauspicious period ruled by Rahu — traditionally avoided for beginnings: journeys, purchases, signings, and new ventures. It is one-eighth of the local day (sunrise to sunset), and its position depends on the weekday — which is why Abbotsford's Rahu Kaal differs from Delhi's. Times published for IST are wrong for Canada residents; the window above is computed from Abbotsford's actual sunrise today.
Rahu Kaal is one of three inauspicious windows the tradition marks each day. All three divide the same sunrise-to-sunset span into eight parts; the weekday decides which part each takes.
| Rahu Kaal | 4:59 PM – 6:51 PM |
| Yamaganda Kaal | 9:30 AM – 11:22 AM |
| Gulika Kaal | 1:14 PM – 3:06 PM |
Gulika Kaal is generally treated as the least severe of the three, and Rahu Kaal the one most commonly observed.

| Monday, Aug 10 | 7:44 AM – 9:34 AM |
| Tuesday, Aug 11 | 4:52 PM – 6:42 PM |
Times shift through the week as sunrise and sunset move, and the window jumps position with the weekday.
