Rahu Kaal , Rahu Kalam , राहु काल , राहु कालम्

RAHU KAAL (Bad Time)
According to Hindu Astrology certain parts of the day between Sunrise and Sunset about one and half hours are inauspicious periods and one should not do any auspicious work during these periods - especially any new work and this is RAHU KAAL (BAD TIME) or  Rahu Kalam, Rahu kaal differs from place to place depending on Sun-rise & Sun-set time at a particular location that is place and country

Any auspicious new work is not to start during this time. It will not give a good result. So one should not start any new Journey, Work, Job, Interview, marriage, business dealing, Sale or purchase of any assets , Foundation of home ,plant and building , Digging well and many other auspicious work . They are prohibited during this time. But it will not affect in work , journey or trade already in progress .
For any good mahurat or auspicious time ,after selecting good and auspicious Thithi, Vara, Nakshtra, Yoga and Karana, the selection of a particular moment that is Rahu kaal should be avoided
According Hindu Astrology, there are seven days in a week ie. from Sunday to Saturday and each day is being ruled by a particular planet and has its own ruling deity. As per our ancient and classical texts says that ruler of the day is prescribed that is as under:
  • Sunday is ruled by Ravi ( Sun)
  • Monday is ruled by Chandra ( Moon)
  • Tuesday is ruled by Kuja ( Mars)
  • Wednesday is ruled by Budha ( Mercury)
  • Thursday is ruled by Guru (Jupiter)
  • Friday is ruled by Sukra (Venus)
  • Saturday is ruled by Shani (Saturn)
Our holy rishies have given equal importance to Rahu and Ketu. However, they did not give any specific day for them as they treated Rahu and Ketu as nodes. However, Rahu and Ketu will be given one and half hours time in a day.
