Rahu Kalam

Inauspicious

Later today — starts at 15:38

YamagandaNow

09:02 – 10:41

Inauspicious

Yamaganda — Yama's portion of the day — runs from 09:02 to 10:41 in Nagpur today. It follows its own weekday sequence over the same eight parts of the daytime and is likewise avoided for beginnings, journeys above all.

Gulika Kalam

12:20 – 13:59

Inauspicious

Gulika Kalam — the portion of Gulika (Mandi), Saturn's offspring — runs from 12:20 to 13:59 today. Classical texts hold that what is begun under Gulika tends to repeat itself, so it is kept clear of solemn one-time acts.

Tomorrow (Wednesday): 12:20 – 13:59

On Tuesday, 21 July 2026, the sun rises in Nagpur at 05:43 and sets at 18:57, giving a daytime span (dinamana) of 13 h 14 min. One-eighth of that span is about 99 minutes, and on a Tuesday the seventh part belongs to Rahu — which puts today's window at 15:38–17:18 local time. Yamaganda runs 09:02–10:41 and Gulika Kalam 12:20–13:59 today; all three windows shift a little every day as Nagpur's sunrise and sunset move.

How Rahu Kalam works in Nagpur

Rahu Kalam is not a fixed clock window: it is one-eighth of the time between sunrise and sunset, and which eighth depends on the weekday. This page therefore recomputes Nagpur's window every day from the city's own sunrise and sunset — the times above are today's, not a printed average.

Through the year the window stretches and drifts. In Nagpur's longer days each of the eight parts grows past ninety minutes and Rahu Kalam sits later or longer; in shorter days it tightens. Two cities on the same date rarely share a window, which is why a Delhi table should not be used in Mumbai.

During the window, tradition defers beginnings — journeys, ventures, signings, purchases — and lets ongoing work continue. If you need an auspicious slot instead, use today's Choghadiya chart and Abhijit Muhurat, linked above, and pick a window that does not overlap Rahu Kalam.

Frequently asked questions

What time is Rahu Kalam today in Nagpur?
On Tuesday, 21 July 2026, Rahu Kalam in Nagpur runs from 15:38 to 17:18 local time, based on sunrise at 05:43 and sunset at 18:57.
Is Rahu Kalam at the same time every day in Nagpur?
No. Each weekday assigns a different eighth of the daytime to Rahu — today it is the seventh part — and the clock time also drifts daily because Nagpur's sunrise and sunset change through the year.
What should be avoided during Rahu Kalam in Nagpur?
Starting new things: journeys out of Nagpur, new ventures and deals, signing important papers, major purchases, and auspicious ceremonies. Ongoing work, routine tasks and worship continue normally.
When are Yamaganda and Gulika Kalam today in Nagpur?
Yamaganda runs 09:02 to 10:41 and Gulika Kalam 12:20 to 13:59 in Nagpur today. Both come from the same eight-part division of the daytime as Rahu Kalam, each with its own weekday sequence.
Why is Rahu Kalam different in every city?
Because the window is cut from the local day. Nagpur's sunrise and sunset differ from every other city's, so the same weekday produces a different Rahu Kalam here than in Delhi, Mumbai or New York.
