Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rahu Kaal in Varanasi on 25 August 2026?

In Varanasi on 25 August 2026, Rahu Kaal runs from 3:11 PM to 4:47 PM. This 90-minute window is governed by Rahu and is traditionally avoided for starting new work, travel, or auspicious ceremonies. The timing shifts daily based on local sunrise, so it differs from city to city.

Why is sunrise in Varanasi on 25 August 2026 at 5:36 AM?

Sunrise at 5:36 AM in Varanasi on 25 August 2026 is determined by the city's geographic latitude (25.32°N) and the Earth's axial tilt on this date. The exact sunrise and sunset (6:23 PM) define the length of the Vedic day and anchor all panchang calculations — from Rahu Kaal to the choghadiya slots — to Varanasi's local horizon.
