What is Rahu Kaal?
Rahu Kaal ("the period of Rahu") is a daily window of about ninety minutes that Vedic tradition regards as unsuitable for beginning important new work: signing agreements, starting a journey, buying property or launching a business. It is named for Rahu, the shadow planet. It is a guideline from the muhurat tradition, not a prediction, and many people simply schedule the day around it.
The daylight from sunrise to sunset in Doha is split into eight equal parts, and Rahu Kaal is the part assigned to the weekday. Because sunrise and sunset move with the seasons and with the city's longitude and latitude, the clock time differs from place to place; this page uses Doha's own sunrise and sunset (Swiss Ephemeris convention: upper limb of the Sun with standard refraction), so it can differ by a few minutes from almanacs that use the disc centre.
