Rahu Kaal in Bangalore -- Daily Guide

Rahu Kaal (also spelled Rahu Kalam) is one of the most widely observed inauspicious time periods in Hindu astrology. For residents of Bangalore, Karnataka, knowing the exact Rahu Kaal timing is essential for planning important activities. Rahu Kaal occurs every day and lasts approximately 90 minutes. The timing is calculated based on the sunrise and sunset times specific to Bangalore's geographical coordinates (Latitude: 12.97, Longitude: 77.59), which means it differs from other cities.

Why Bangalore Has Different Rahu Kaal Timings

Bangalore, located at 12.97 degrees latitude and 77.59 degrees longitude in Karnataka, experiences different sunrise and sunset times compared to other Indian cities. This means Rahu Kaal in Bangalore can differ by 15-30 minutes from cities in other parts of India. Our calculator uses precise astronomical data for Bangalore to give you accurate timings.
