<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The Rahukala is considered an inauspicious time (1 ½
hours) that occurs daily. It is a period that is
usually avoided – especially when performing an
important task, undertaking a journey and so on.

It is important to ensure that you don’t start any
important work/sign important documents etc. during
the duration of the Rahukala. If you happen to have an
important appointment for example, and it happens to
fall during the rahukala, don’t worry. Just leave for
the appointment before the time, with a small prayer
for help and be sure that you will be ok. You may
start any work either before or after the rahukala but
preferably not during it. The same applies for doing
pujas etc.

As the timings vary daily, a line that is often used
to help us remember the timings is: 

“Mother Saw Father Wearing THe Turban on a Sunday.”

The rahukala starts with 7.30 a.m. on Monday morning
and lasts each day for one and a half hours. The
sequence is for one and a half hours daily, as
suggested by the above line. Thus:


Monday -        7.30 - 9.00 a.m.

Saturday  -       9.00 - 10.30 a.m.

Friday -            10.30 a.m - 12 noon

Wednesday - 12 noon - 1.30 p.m.

Thursday -       1.30 p.m - 3.00 p.m.

Tuesday -         3. 00 p.m. - 4.30 p.m.

Sunday -          4.30 p.m - 6.00 p.m.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
