How is Rahu Kalam worked out?
The day is divided into eight equal parts; one part, fixed by weekday, is Rahu Kalam. Tradition advises against starting new work in it; it suits Durga worship.
Printed almanacs take the day as 6 am to 6 pm, so the time is the same across Tamil Nadu. By your city's actual sunrise it moves by a few minutes.
