The four windows people confuse
Three inauspicious, one auspicious. All four are eighths of today's solar arc in Guwahati.
Rahu Kaal
Rahu
06:49 – 08:16
The window to avoid beginning anything new — travel, signing, buying, a first meeting.
Yamaganda
Ketu
09:43 – 11:10
Also avoided for new beginnings, and routinely mistaken for Rahu Kaal.
Gulika Kaal
Saturn
12:37 – 14:04
Saturn's eighth. Traditionally avoided, though held to be the mildest of the three.
Abhijit Muhurat
Brahma
10:47 – 11:33
The opposite: the midday window held to be auspicious for almost anything.

When Guwahati's clocks change
India does not change its clocks, so the only thing that moves Rahu Kaal here is the Sun: sunrise in Guwahati is 04:33 at the June solstice and 06:07 at the December one, 94 minutes apart.
Why Guwahati needs its own figure
Across the year
In Guwahati, Rahu Kaal is shortest at 78 minutes and longest at 103 minutes across the year, a spread of 25 minutes set by this city's latitude.
Against the nearest city
Shillong is 65 km away, and today its Rahu Kaal runs 06:48–08:15 against Guwahati's 06:49–08:16. Sunrise differs, so the eighth differs. That gap is the reason this page is computed for Guwahati rather than for the region.
