Why Is Rahu Kalam Important?
Rahu Kalam is a time frame ruled by the shadow planet Rahu, and according to Vedic astrology, it is not considered favorable for initiating any new ventures, marriages, journeys, or business deals. Although it lasts for just about 90 minutes each day, most people prefer to avoid starting anything new during this time.
On the other hand, knowing the Gulika Kaal and Yamaganda Kaal also helps in identifying which parts of the day are more suitable for spiritual and personal activities.
