Inauspicious Period
Prayagraj Rahu Kaal Today
Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh · 25 August 2026
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is a roughly one-and-a-half-hour period that occurs every day and is considered inauspicious for beginning important tasks. Its clock time changes daily because it is measured as the eighth part of the day, counted from sunrise, in a fixed sequence that depends on the weekday.

Avoid starting new ventures, travel, signing agreements, marriage talks, housewarming, or vehicle purchase during Rahu Kaal. Ongoing work and routine activities may continue. Many people simply shift the *start* of an important task to just before or after the window.
Ruler: Rahu
Rahu Kaal in Prayagraj today runs 03:16 pm–04:51 pm (1 hour 36 min), computed from Prayagraj's sunrise at 05:41 am and sunset at 06:27 pm. For auspicious work, Prayagraj's Abhijit Muhurat today is 11:40 am–12:28 pm.
Prayagraj’s Sangam is where the Panchang becomes a mass event: the Magh Mela every year and the Kumbh by planetary conjunction, with snan dates (Mauni Amavasya above all) fixed by tithi. Prayagraj runs about 3 minutes behind the IST meridian, so its Rahu Kaal window is unique to the city — never reuse another city's timing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is today's Rahu Kaal time in Prayagraj?
Today's Rahu Kaal in Prayagraj is shown above with its exact start and end time. It is computed as the eighth segment of the day for Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh (25.4358°N, 81.8463°E), based on today's sunrise and sunset, so it shifts a little each day.
What is Rahu Kaal?
Rahu Kaal (or Rahu Kalam) is a daily inauspicious period of about 90 minutes ruled by the shadow planet Rahu. The daytime from sunrise to sunset is divided into eight equal parts, and one of those parts is Rahu Kaal — which part depends on the weekday. New and auspicious work is traditionally avoided during it.
How is Prayagraj Rahu Kaal calculated?
The day (sunrise to sunset) is divided into 8 equal parts. The Rahu Kaal segment follows a fixed weekday order (e.g. 8th part on Monday, 2nd on Saturday). Sunrise and sunset for Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh are computed with Swiss Ephemeris, so Prayagraj's Rahu Kaal is specific to the city and never the same as another city's.
Can I do puja during Rahu Kaal?
Routine daily prayer is generally fine, but starting a new vrat, major puja, yajna, or auspicious ceremony during Rahu Kaal is traditionally avoided. Rahu-related remedies are an exception some practitioners deliberately time to this window.
Does Rahu Kaal change every day?
Yes. The weekday sequence is fixed, but the clock times shift daily because they depend on Prayagraj's actual sunrise and sunset, which move through the year. This page recalculates Prayagraj Rahu Kaal daily.
