Rahu Kaal in New Delhi today
Rahu Kaal in New Delhi today, Saturday, September 19, 2026, runs 9:11 AM – 10:43 AM, a span of 1 hr 32 min. It is the third of the eight equal parts between sunrise at 6:08 AM and sunset at 6:22 PM, which is the part a Saturday assigns to Rahu. Daylight here is 12 hr 14 min today, so each part is 1 hr 32 min.
Across a week in New Delhi the window walks through the day: the earliest it begins is Monday at 7:40 AM, the latest it ends is Sunday at 6:22 PM, with today’s sun. Those times drift by a minute or two a day as sunrise moves, and they are New Delhi’s alone: a city to the east sees the same Saturday window earlier, a city to the west later.
There is no Rahu Kaal after sunset in New Delhi or anywhere else: it is defined on daylight only. Once 10:43 AM passes today, the day is clear of it until tomorrow’s own window.

Rahu Kaal in New Delhi: questions
What time is Rahu Kaal today in New Delhi?▼
9:11 AM – 10:43 AM on Saturday, September 19, 2026, computed from New Delhi’s own sunrise (6:08 AM) and sunset (6:22 PM). It lasts 1 hr 32 min today.
When does Rahu Kaal end today in New Delhi?▼
At 10:43 AM. Anything you were holding back can begin after that; the rest of New Delhi’s daylight, until sunset at 6:22 PM, has no Rahu Kaal in it. The other two caution windows today are Yamaganda 1:47 PM – 3:18 PM and Gulika Kaal 6:08 AM – 7:40 AM.
Is Rahu Kaal the same time every day in New Delhi?▼
No. The weekday fixes which eighth of the day it takes, so the clock time jumps from one day to the next. This week in New Delhi, with today’s sunrise, it starts as early as Monday at 7:40 AM and ends as late as Sunday at 6:22 PM. The weekday strip on this page shows all seven.
Is there a Rahu Kaal at night in New Delhi?▼
No. Rahu Kaal is one eighth of daylight (sunrise 6:08 AM to sunset 6:22 PM in New Delhi today), and nothing after sunset carries the name. If you want a night-time caution window, the night choghadiya is the system that has one.
