Rahu Kaal (avoid new beginnings)
1:22 PM – 3:30 PM
Sunrise 4:51 AM · Sunset 9:54 PM — all times local to Oslo
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 Oslo's Rahu Kaal differs from Delhi's. Times published for IST are wrong for Norway residents; the window above is computed from Oslo'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 | 1:22 PM – 3:30 PM |
| Yamaganda Kaal | 6:59 AM – 9:06 AM |
| Gulika Kaal | 11:14 AM – 1:22 PM |
Gulika Kaal is generally treated as the least severe of the three, and Rahu Kaal the one most commonly observed.

| Tuesday, Aug 4 | 5:30 PM – 7:35 PM |
| Wednesday, Aug 5 | 1:22 PM – 3:25 PM |
Times shift through the week as sunrise and sunset move, and the window jumps position with the weekday.
