The four windows people confuse
Three inauspicious, one auspicious. All four are eighths of today's solar arc in Glasgow.
Rahu Kaal
Rahu
09:04 – 10:24
The window to avoid beginning anything new — travel, signing, buying, a first meeting.
Yamaganda
Ketu
11:44 – 13:04
Also avoided for new beginnings, and routinely mistaken for Rahu Kaal.
Gulika Kaal
Saturn
14:24 – 15:44
Saturn's eighth. Traditionally avoided, though held to be the mildest of the three.
Abhijit Muhurat
Brahma
12:43 – 13:26
The opposite: the midday window held to be auspicious for almost anything.

Ekadashi, Purnima and Amavasya in Glasgow
By the sunrise rule most panchangs use, 3 of these 4 fall on a different calendar day in Glasgow than in New Delhi: the two sunrises meet the tithi on different days. Sectarian refinements are not applied.

When Glasgow's clocks change
Glasgow moves from UTC+1 to UTC+0 on 2026-10-25. The Sun does not change, so Rahu Kaal stays the same eighth of the day, but its clock time jumps: on 2026-10-25 it runs 15:40–16:53 on the new clock, which would have read 16:40–17:53 on the old one. Anything you scheduled by the clock moves with it.
Why Glasgow needs its own figure
Across the year
In Glasgow, Rahu Kaal is shortest at 52 minutes and longest at 131 minutes across the year, a spread of 79 minutes set by this city's latitude.
Against the nearest city
Leeds is 287 km away, and today its Rahu Kaal runs 08:51–10:12 against Glasgow's 09:04–10:24. Sunrise differs, so the eighth differs. That gap is the reason this page is computed for Glasgow rather than for the region.
