Rahu kaal (राहु काल) is one of eight equal parts of the sunrise-to-sunset day, shifting by weekday. Tradition avoids starting important work during it; abhijit, near midday, is its bright counterpart.

Rahu Kaal is a roughly 90-minute window each day, ruled by the shadow planet Rahu, traditionally considered inauspicious for starting anything new. It is one of the eight equal parts of the day from sunrise to sunset, and which part it falls in depends on the weekday.
राहु काल लगभग 90 मिनट का समय है जिसमें नया कार्य आरंभ करना शुभ नहीं माना जाता। यह सूर्योदय से सूर्यास्त तक के दिन के आठ बराबर भागों में से एक होता है।
