- How long Rahu Kaal lasts. It is one eighth of the daylight, so 1 hour 19 minutes today. Through 2026 it runs from 1 hour 7 minutes (around 21 December) to 1 hour 56 minutes (around 21 June).
- Local noon. Midway between sunrise and sunset, Toronto's noon falls at 1:01 PM today, 61 minutes after 12:00 on the clock. Abhijit Muhurat is centred on this moment, not on twelve o'clock.
- Day length. Toronto has 10 hours 32 minutes of daylight today, against 10 hours 51 minutes a week ago and 10 hours 13 minutes a week from now: the days here are getting shorter by about 19 minutes a week, and will until the shortest day, around 21 December. In 2026 the longest day is 15 hours 27 minutes (around 21 June) and the shortest 8 hours 56 minutes (around 21 December), a swing of 6 hours 31 minutes.
- The overhead Sun. Toronto lies 43.7° north, 20.2° beyond the Tropic of Cancer, so the Sun never stands directly overhead: at its highest, around 21 June, it is 70° above the horizon at noon.

Three caution periods are calculated by dividing the time between sunrise and sunset into eight equal parts. They shift with your local sunrise, so they are different in every city and different every day.
Everything above comes from the same computation behind today's full Panchang, using Swiss Ephemeris positions and your city's actual coordinates rather than a national average.
For what these periods mean and how they are traditionally used — including their limits — read the Rahu Kaal guide. For choosing a time deliberately, see how muhurta is actually chosen.
The slow transits work on a different scale entirely — Saturn and Jupiter change sign in years rather than in hours. Shani Gochar, Guru Gochar, Rahu Ketu Gochar, Sade Sati, Mercury retrograde.
Timing guidance here is a framework for planning, not medical, legal or financial advice. Never delay medical care for a timing window.
Rahu Kaal questions, answered
What time does Rahu Kaal start in Toronto today?
The table above starts at sunrise in Toronto, which is 7:45 AM today. Every window on this page is measured from that sunrise, so the first period begins there rather than at midnight.
Which timezone are these Rahu Kaal times in?
All times on this page are local to Toronto, computed for America/Toronto (UTC-04:00). They are not converted from Indian Standard Time — sunrise is calculated for Toronto's own coordinates and the whole table is measured from it.
Why is Rahu Kaal different in Toronto than in Delhi?
Because the periods are divisions of the time between Toronto's own sunrise and sunset, not a national table. Sunrise differs across India by well over an hour, so a time computed for Delhi is wrong in Toronto by a meaningful margin.
How many Rahu Kaal periods are there?
4 are listed above for Toronto — the full set covering the daylight period this tool divides.
Delhi and every major city on one page: Rahu Kaal today.
These windows are derived from local sunrise, so they differ by city. A time computed for Delhi is wrong in Chennai by a meaningful margin.
