How Rahu Kaal is found
The daylight in Varanasi — from the Sun’s upper limb rising to its setting, with standard refraction — is divided into eight equal parts. Rahu Kaal is the 8th part on Sunday, 2nd Monday, 7th Tuesday, 5th Wednesday, 6th Thursday, 4th Friday and 3rd Saturday; Yamaganda and Gulika use their own weekday orders. Abhijit is the middle of fifteen daytime muhurtas. Because the daylight changes with season and latitude, so do all four windows. More in the Rahu Kaal explainer.
