Inauspicious Period
Hyderabad Gulika Kaal Today
Hyderabad, Telangana · 25 August 2026
Gulika Kaal (Gulikai, or Mandi in South Indian tradition) is a daily inauspicious period ruled by Gulika, a sub-planet associated with Saturn. It has a distinctive belief attached to it: whatever is done during Gulika Kaal tends to be repeated — which is why it is avoided for inauspicious or one-off acts, and why it is treated with particular care.

Avoid starting new work, journeys, borrowing/lending, and especially funerary or inauspicious acts during Gulika Kaal, since actions are believed to recur. Some traditions deliberately use it for acts one wishes to repeat (e.g. certain investments), but the default advice is to avoid it.
