Rahu Kaal (avoid new beginnings)
8:36 AM – 10:08 AM
Sunrise 5:33 AM · Sunset 5:45 PM — all times local to Brisbane
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 Brisbane's Rahu Kaal differs from Delhi's. Times published for IST are wrong for Australia residents; the window above is computed from Brisbane'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 | 8:36 AM – 10:08 AM |
| Yamaganda Kaal | 1:11 PM – 2:42 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 5:33 AM – 7:04 AM |
Gulika Kaal is generally treated as the least severe of the three, and Rahu Kaal the one most commonly observed.

Times shift through the week as sunrise and sunset move, and the window jumps position with the weekday.
