Rahu Kaal (avoid new beginnings)
10:09 AM – 11:39 AM
Sunrise 7:10 AM · Sunset 7:08 PM — all times local to Mississauga
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 Mississauga's Rahu Kaal differs from Delhi's. Times published for IST are wrong for Canada residents; the window above is computed from Mississauga'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 | 10:09 AM – 11:39 AM |
| Yamaganda Kaal | 2:39 PM – 4:08 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 7:10 AM – 8:40 AM |
Gulika Kaal is generally treated as the least severe of the three, and Rahu Kaal the one most commonly observed.

| Friday, Oct 2 | 11:39 AM – 1:07 PM |

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