Today's Rahu Kalam in Amritsar is from 07:23 to 09:08 (Monday, 20 July 2026). The window is one-eighth of the daytime, calculated from the local sunrise at 05:39 and sunset at 19:34.
Rahu Kalam
07:23 – 09:08
Later today — starts at 07:23
Yamaganda
10:52 – 12:37
Yamaganda — Yama's portion of the day — runs from 10:52 to 12:37 in Amritsar today. It follows its own weekday sequence over the same eight parts of the daytime and is likewise avoided for beginnings, journeys above all.
Gulika Kalam
14:21 – 16:06
Gulika Kalam — the portion of Gulika (Mandi), Saturn's offspring — runs from 14:21 to 16:06 today. Classical texts hold that what is begun under Gulika tends to repeat itself, so it is kept clear of solemn one-time acts.
Tomorrow (Tuesday): 16:05 – 17:50
On Monday, 20 July 2026, the sun rises in Amritsar at 05:39 and sets at 19:34, giving a daytime span (dinamana) of 13 h 56 min. One-eighth of that span is about 104 minutes, and on a Monday the second part belongs to Rahu — which puts today's window at 07:23–09:08 local time. Yamaganda runs 10:52–12:37 and Gulika Kalam 14:21–16:06 today; all three windows shift a little every day as Amritsar's sunrise and sunset move.

How Rahu Kalam works in Amritsar
Rahu Kalam is not a fixed clock window: it is one-eighth of the time between sunrise and sunset, and which eighth depends on the weekday. This page therefore recomputes Amritsar's window every day from the city's own sunrise and sunset — the times above are today's, not a printed average.
Through the year the window stretches and drifts. In Amritsar's longer days each of the eight parts grows past ninety minutes and Rahu Kalam sits later or longer; in shorter days it tightens. Two cities on the same date rarely share a window, which is why a Delhi table should not be used in Mumbai.
During the window, tradition defers beginnings — journeys, ventures, signings, purchases — and lets ongoing work continue. If you need an auspicious slot instead, use today's Choghadiya chart and Abhijit Muhurat, linked above, and pick a window that does not overlap Rahu Kalam.
Frequently asked questions

- On Monday, 20 July 2026, Rahu Kalam in Amritsar runs from 07:23 to 09:08 local time, based on sunrise at 05:39 and sunset at 19:34.
- Is Rahu Kalam at the same time every day in Amritsar?
- No. Each weekday assigns a different eighth of the daytime to Rahu — today it is the second part — and the clock time also drifts daily because Amritsar's sunrise and sunset change through the year.
- What should be avoided during Rahu Kalam in Amritsar?
- Starting new things: journeys out of Amritsar, new ventures and deals, signing important papers, major purchases, and auspicious ceremonies. Ongoing work, routine tasks and worship continue normally.
- When are Yamaganda and Gulika Kalam today in Amritsar?
- Yamaganda runs 10:52 to 12:37 and Gulika Kalam 14:21 to 16:06 in Amritsar today. Both come from the same eight-part division of the daytime as Rahu Kalam, each with its own weekday sequence.
- Why is Rahu Kalam different in every city?
- Because the window is cut from the local day. Amritsar's sunrise and sunset differ from every other city's, so the same weekday produces a different Rahu Kalam here than in Delhi, Mumbai or New York.
