Rahu Kalam today
Rahu Kalam today in Chennai is 4:12 PM – 5:39 PM.
Today's windows
Yamagandam11:53 AM – 1:19 PM
Set this stretch aside for finishing, not starting — clear the desk, close the loop, wrap things up. Everyday tasks are fine; save new moves for later.
Gulikai Kalam2:46 PM – 4:12 PM
Tradition reads what begins here as something that repeats. Start things you would happily do again; hold the one-time beginnings for another window.
Rahu Kalam4:12 PM – 5:39 PM
Hold new beginnings in this stretch — signings, first payments, launches, setting out on a journey. Routine work, rest, and anything already underway are completely fine.
Abhijit muhurtham (the midday window)
Abhijit11:29 AM – 12:16 PM
The day's most supportive stretch. Put the thing that matters most here: the start, the ask, the signing, the first step.
Yamagandam overlaps part of this stretch. For a one-time start, like a signing, use 11:29 AM – 11:53 AM.
Sunrise 6:06 AM, sunset 5:39 PM. Looking for a good time instead? Today's nalla neram.
Questions
- What is Rahu Kalam?
- A stretch of about an hour and a half each day that tradition keeps free of new beginnings. It is one eighth of the daylight, and which eighth depends on the weekday.
- Why does Rahu Kalam change every day?
- It is worked out from the day's real sunrise and sunset, so its clock time moves a little with the season, and its place in the day moves with the weekday.
- What can I do during Rahu Kalam?
- Routine work, rest, and anything already underway are completely fine. Tradition only holds new beginnings, like signings, first payments, launches or setting out on a journey.
