Today's Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam & Kuligai for every city, computed from the sun's real position.
Rahu Kalam is a roughly 90-minute period each day that is considered inauspicious for starting anything important. It moves with sunrise and the weekday, so it differs by city and date. Many people avoid travel, signing, or new ventures during it.

Frequently asked questions
What is rahu kalam?
A window of about one and a half hours each day that is best avoided. New or auspicious work is not started during it.
How is it calculated?
The daytime is split into eight equal parts, and the part for that weekday is the rahu kalam, worked out from your city's own sunrise and sunset.
What are Yamagandam and Kuligai?
They are daily time-parts like rahu kalam, and both are traditionally avoided. Kuligai carries one extra nuance: whatever is done in it is said to repeat, so some use it deliberately for things meant to recur and avoid it for anything that must not.
