HOW TO FIND OUT TODAY’S RAHU KAAL
The calculation of Rahu Kaal is done using the time period of sunrise and sunset. The exact total of the timings between sunrise and sunset is calculated which is then divided by 8 (each day between sunrise and sunset is made up of 8 segments) and we get the 8 units which make a day.
The duration of Rahu Kalam is 90 minutes or 1.5 hours. Astronomically as well as astrologically, the positions of the planets as well as the stars vary time to time. So, no two days can have the same duration of Rahu Kaal. Rahu Kaal Today will be different from Rahu Kaal tomorrow or day after.
This makes finding out the Rahu Kalam timing extremely important when starting a new venture. Hindu culture and religion gives immense importance to Rahu Kaal. Auspicious work such as Grah Pravesh, automobile purchase, marriage rituals among others are never initiate without due consideration to Rahu Kalam Chart and timings.

IMPORTANCE OF NIGHT RAHU KAAL
Not much importance is given to Night Rahu Kaal as no auspicious activity or religious ceremony ever begins post sunset. So, calculating Rahu Kaal after sunset does not hold much significance.
The calculation of night Rahu Kaal is done on the similar lines, the only difference being that the total time between sunset and next day’s sunrise is measured and calculated and then the total is divided by 8.
Rahu Kaal timings are only observed when commence of a work is considered. If the work has already begun, then Rahu Kaal has no effect whatsoever. Puja, Hawan related to Rahu or puja performed to propitiate Rahu should done during Rahu Kalam so as to achieve the best results.
