Questions about rahu kaal in Shimla

What is the Rahu Kaal time in Shimla today?
On Friday, 30 October 2026 Rahu Kaal in Shimla is 10:42 AM – 12:05 PM, with sunrise at 6:35 AM and sunset at 5:35 PM.
How is Rahu Kaal worked out?
The daylight from sunrise to sunset is divided into eight equal parts, and the weekday decides which eighth is Rahu Kaal - the 2nd on Monday, 7th on Tuesday, 5th on Wednesday, 6th on Thursday, 4th on Friday, 3rd on Saturday and 8th on Sunday. Because daylight changes through the year, so do its length and its clock time.
Why are the times for Shimla different from another city's?
Every window here is cut from sunrise and sunset at Shimla itself, and sunrise moves by minutes from one city to the next. A list printed for another city, or for a fixed 6 AM day, will not match Shimla.
How is this calculated?
Sunrise and sunset come from the standard astronomical formula (Meeus, Astronomical Algorithms, ch. 15) for the city's coordinates. The tithi and the Moon's nakshatra are read at that sunrise on the sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa - the way a printed panchang names the day's tithi.
