Rahu Kaal (avoid new beginnings)
1:19 PM – 3:13 PM
Sunrise 5:45 AM · Sunset 8:54 PM — all times local to Munich
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 Munich's Rahu Kaal differs from Delhi's. Times published for IST are wrong for Germany residents; the window above is computed from Munich'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 | 1:19 PM – 3:13 PM |
| Yamaganda Kaal | 7:39 AM – 9:32 AM |
| Gulika Kaal | 11:26 AM – 1:19 PM |
Gulika Kaal is generally treated as the least severe of the three, and Rahu Kaal the one most commonly observed.

| Tuesday, Aug 4 | 5:02 PM – 6:53 PM |
| Wednesday, Aug 5 | 1:19 PM – 3:10 PM |
Times shift through the week as sunrise and sunset move, and the window jumps position with the weekday.
