Calculating muhurat timings...
Rahu Kaal is a daily period of approximately 90 minutes that is considered highly inauspicious in Vedic astrology. Named after Rahu, one of the nine celestial bodies (Navagrahas), this time period is believed to bring obstacles, delays, and negative influences to new activities or important ventures started during this time.
According to Vedic astrology, Rahu is associated with illusion, confusion, and material desires. During Rahu Kaal, these negative influences are believed to be at their peak, making it an unfavorable time for starting new ventures, important meetings, or significant life decisions. The period is thought to bring unexpected obstacles and delays.
Rahu Kaal is calculated by dividing the time between local sunrise and sunset into eight equal parts. Each day of the week has Rahu Kaal during a specific segment, following a traditional pattern that has been used for centuries.

Rahu is one of the nine celestial bodies (Navagrahas) in Vedic astrology, representing the ascending lunar node. Known as the "shadow planet," Rahu is associated with material desires, illusion, and worldly attachments. While challenging, Rahu also represents transformation and can bring sudden gains when properly understood. The daily Rahu Kaal period is when these challenging influences are believed to be most active.
