How Rahu Kalam is calculated for Asara
The time between sunrise and sunset is divided into eight equal parts, and one part — fixed by the weekday — is Rahu Kalam: the 8th part on Sunday, 2nd on Monday, 7th on Tuesday, 5th on Wednesday, 6th on Thursday, 4th on Friday and 3rd on Saturday. With today’s day length in Asara, each part lasts about 91 minutes. The familiar “Monday 7:30–9:00” chart assumes a 6:00 AM sunrise and a 12-hour day, so it can be off by half an hour or more depending on the season and how far east or west you are.
By tradition, new ventures, journeys, purchases and auspicious ceremonies are not started during Rahu Kalam; work already under way simply continues. Yamagandam and Gulikai Kalam are computed the same way from different parts of the day.
