Rahu Kaal Today in Bengaluru: Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika Timings

Rahu Kaal in Bengaluru for the next 7 days

Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika Kaal in Bengaluru, IST, from Sunday 1 November 2026

For any other date or town, use the panchang for any place and date or the Bengaluru panchang, whose month calendar lists Rahu Kaal for every day.

How Rahu Kaal is worked out for Bengaluru

Rahu Kaal is one of eight equal parts of the daytime, from sunrise to sunset, and which part it is depends only on the weekday. On Sunday 1 November 2026 the daytime in Bengaluru runs from sunrise at 6:13 am to sunset at 5:53 pm, 11 hours 40 minutes, so each part lasts about 1 hour 28 minutes. That day is a Sunday, so Rahu Kaal is the 8th part: 4:25 pm to 5:53 pm.

Yamaganda and Gulika Kaal are found in the same way, each with its own order of parts:

All three are read as poor times to begin something new, such as a journey, a purchase, a business or a ceremony. Work already under way, prayer and the daily puja are generally not affected.

Sunrise and sunset used here

Sunrise and sunset are the moments the upper edge of the Sun touches the horizon, with the standard allowance for the bending of light in the air (refraction), which puts the centre of the Sun 0.833 degrees below the horizon. They are worked out for Bengaluru's latitude and longitude (12.97 degrees N, 77.59 degrees E) at sea level by this site's own panchang engine, the same one behind the Bengaluru panchang, and they agree with the Swiss Ephemeris to within 3 seconds. Times are Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30) and are cut, not rounded, to the minute.

Where traditions differ

• Fixed tables. Many printed calendars give one fixed time for each weekday, as if the Sun always rose at 6 am and set at 6 pm. For a Sunday such a table says 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm; counted from Bengaluru's real sunrise and sunset, Rahu Kaal on Sunday 1 November 2026 is 4:25 pm to 5:53 pm.
• Sunrise. Some almanacs take sunrise as the moment the centre of the Sun reaches the horizon, which in Bengaluru comes about 1 to 1.5 minutes later, or the centre with no allowance for refraction, about 3.5 to 4.5 minutes later. Sunset then comes earlier by the same amount, and Rahu Kaal moves by up to that much.
• How strictly to keep it. Regions and families differ in how much weight they give to Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika Kaal; Rahu Kaal is kept most widely, above all in South India. If your family or your temple follows a printed almanac, follow it.

Two things move it. The weekday decides which of the eight parts of the day it is (on Sunday 1 November 2026, a Sunday, it is the 8th part), and Bengaluru's sunrise and sunset move with the seasons: from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027, sunrise is earliest at 5:52 am on 31 May 2027 and latest at 6:46 am on 24 January 2027.

Prayer, meditation and the daily puja are not restricted by it. The advice of the tradition is about starting something new, such as a journey, a purchase or a business, and work already under way is generally left to carry on. Customs differ between regions and families, so follow your own.
