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 Kanpur 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 Kanpur on 21 June 2026, sunrise is at 5:20 AM and sunset is at 7:00 PM (IST). These are computed on the Swiss Ephemeris for Kanpur'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 Kanpur today (Sunday) is 5:17 PM – 7:00 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. Kanpur's Rahu Kaal differs from other cities because it is derived from Kanpur's own sunrise and sunset.
Read at Kanpur's sunrise (5:20 AM), today is Shukla Saptami tithi with the Moon in Purva Phalguni nakshatra (pada 4). The yoga is Siddhi and the karana is Vanija. All values are sidereal, Lahiri ayanamsa.
Abhijit Muhurat in Kanpur today is 11:43 AM – 12:37 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 Kanpur'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 Kanpur's timings are distinct.
