Rahu Kaal is an inauspicious period of roughly ninety minutes each day, traditionally avoided for beginning important work. It is calculated as one of the eight equal parts of the daytime between sunrise and sunset, and which part it falls in is fixed by the weekday. Because Surat has its own sunrise and sunset times, its Rahu Kaal — along with Yamaganda, Gulika, Abhijit Muhurat and Brahma Muhurta — falls at clock times specific to the city rather than a single nationwide value.
In Surat on 22 July 2026, sunrise is at 6:12 AM and sunset is at 7:17 PM (IST). These are computed on the Swiss Ephemeris for Surat's coordinates using the traditional Vedic definition (centre of the solar disc at the horizon), so they may differ by a couple of minutes from conventional almanacs.
Rahu Kaal in Surat today (Wednesday) is 12:45 PM – 2:23 PM IST. Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the daytime, and which eighth it falls in depends on the weekday; it is traditionally avoided for starting auspicious work. Surat's Rahu Kaal differs from other cities because it is derived from Surat's own sunrise and sunset.
Read at Surat's sunrise (6:12 AM), today is Shukla Navami tithi with the Moon in Swati nakshatra (pada 2). The yoga is Sadhya and the karana is Balava. All values are sidereal, Lahiri ayanamsa.
Abhijit Muhurat in Surat today is 12:18 PM – 1:11 PM IST — a roughly 48-minute window around solar noon considered auspicious for most activities. It is calculated as the eighth of fifteen equal parts of Surat's daytime.
The five limbs of the panchang are read at sunrise, and sunrise occurs at a different clock time in each city, so the tithi, nakshatra and the day's muhurat windows can all differ between cities. Time-sensitive windows like Rahu Kaal, Gulika and Abhijit are tied directly to each city's sunrise and sunset, which is why Surat's timings are distinct.
