What is Rahu Kalaya (Rahu Time.)?

Rahu Time (Rahukalaya) is known by various names such as Rahu Kalaya, Rahu Kaal, Rahu Kalam, Bad Time, and Inauspicious Times (asuba welawa). Generally, today, daily or weekly Rahu Time (Rahukaalam.) is considered the most inauspicious period of the day. As the name suggests, every day there is one small period of approx. one and a half hours. This time is said to be ruled by Rahu. It is considered bad for any important work or new initiative. According to some belief, work started in the Rahu time period doesn't give good results and indicates only failure. The usage of Rahu time is popular in Southern India and also Sri Lanka. Since the planet Rahu is considered malefic, its time is also considered inauspicious. Individuals usually do not undertake any important work during this time period. It is believed to yield negative results, lack of success, or postponement.

Rahukalaya (Rahukalam) is widely considered an inauspicious time. It is especially inauspicious for starting business or major events in life. It is best to avoid purchasing property., starting construction., undertaking new journeys., holding marriage ceremonies., moving into a new house or signing critical documents during this period. However, there are no problems with tasks started during auspicious times. The same goes for normal daily activities. They can be safely carried out without any problems even during Rahu Kala.

Generally, people use rough calculation for Rahu time, taking 6:00 am as Sunrise. However, the correct way is to calculate daily Rahu Kalaya (Rahu Kaal) from the exact Sunrise. This means it changes slightly each day. Rahu time also changes for each city as the Sunrise differs from city to city. We, at Sri Panchayudha Astrology Service, provide the accurate Rahu time calculated for your specific City. As per Astrology, the demon Rahu is responsible for swallowing the sun, which causes eclipses. Rahu is shown with a human head., a serpent’s body and is seated in a chariot drawn by eight black horses. The other name of Rahu is Bhayanaka. It is considered one among the nine planets in astrology., and a maleficent one at that. While every other planet has one day of theweek dedicated to it, one and a half hours (1.5 hrs) of every day is dedicated to Rahu. This period is called Raahu kaalaya (Rahukaalam) today.

The time period is calculated by taking the total time between sunrise and sunset, at a given place. This final number is then divided by 8. This inauspicious period is generally believed to last for 90 minutes every day.
