FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What should I avoid in Rahu Kaal?
Tradition says to avoid launching anything important — new work, journeys, purchases, ceremonies — inside the window. Routine work is unaffected.
Why do timings differ across sites?
The eighth-of-day rule is fixed, but sunrise/sunset are not — we compute them from real ephemeris positions for your city, not a flat 6 AM default.
