Rahu Kaal is one eighth of the daylight, so its length follows the length of the day. In Los Angeles in 2026 it is shortest around 21 December 2026 (about 74 minutes) and longest around 21 June 2026 (about 108 minutes).
Los Angeles observes daylight saving time. On the days the clocks change, Rahu Kaal's clock time jumps by an hour even though its place in the daylight does not. Every time on this page is already on that day's local clock.
How these times are worked out:sunrise and sunset are computed for the city's latitude and longitude, and the daylight between them is cut into eight equal parts. The weekday-to-part table for Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika matches every published almanac we checked, but we have not located a classical verse for it, so we present it as almanac convention rather than cite a text.
