Rahu Kaal or Rahu Kalam is a period of time in Hindu astrology that is considered inauspicious for beginning new activities. This time period is governed by the planet Rahu, which is believed to be a malefic planet. Rahu Kaal is calculated based on the sunrise and sunset time of a particular day and varies depending on the location and season.
