Rahu Kaal (avoid new beginnings)
9:04 AM – 10:36 AM
Sunrise 6:01 AM · Sunset 6:15 PM — all times local to Perth
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 Perth's Rahu Kaal differs from Delhi's. Times published for IST are wrong for Australia residents; the window above is computed from Perth'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 | 9:04 AM – 10:36 AM |
| Yamaganda Kaal | 1:39 PM – 3:11 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 6:01 AM – 7:33 AM |
Gulika Kaal is generally treated as the least severe of the three, and Rahu Kaal the one most commonly observed.
