Rahu Kalam in Chennai – today and every day of September 2026
Rahu kalam today (Saturday 26 September 2026) in Chennai is 8:59 AM – 10:29 AM; Yamagandam 1:30 PM – 3:01 PM, Gulika kalam 5:58 AM – 7:28 AM (sunrise 5:58 AM, sunset 6:02 PM, Tamil Nadu, India local time).
Rahu kalam is the eighth part of daytime (sunrise to sunset) assigned to Rahu by weekday. Because daylength changes through the year it must be computed for each date and city; the table gives exact times for every day of the current month. In Chennai in September the daylight lasts about 12.1 hours, so each of the eight parts is about 91 minutes. Rahu kalam is avoided for starting journeys, new work and auspicious ceremonies; Yamagandam and Gulika kalam are the other two daily inauspicious periods computed the same way with different weekday positions. Abhijit muhurtam (the eighth of fifteen parts of the day, around local noon) is the daily auspicious window; it is on each day's panchangam page.
