The four windows people confuse
Three inauspicious, one auspicious. All four are eighths of today's solar arc in Kuala Lumpur.
Rahu Kaal
Rahu
08:29 – 10:00
The window to avoid beginning anything new — travel, signing, buying, a first meeting.
Yamaganda
Ketu
11:30 – 13:00
Also avoided for new beginnings, and routinely mistaken for Rahu Kaal.
Gulika Kaal
Saturn
14:30 – 16:00
Saturn's eighth. Traditionally avoided, though held to be the mildest of the three.
Abhijit Muhurat
Brahma
12:36 – 13:24
The opposite: the midday window held to be auspicious for almost anything.

When Kuala Lumpur's clocks change
Malaysia does not change its clocks, so the only thing that moves Rahu Kaal here is the Sun: sunrise in Kuala Lumpur is 07:07 at the June solstice and 07:14 at the December one, 7 minutes apart.
Why Kuala Lumpur needs its own figure
Across the year
In Kuala Lumpur, Rahu Kaal is shortest at 89 minutes and longest at 92 minutes across the year, a spread of 3 minutes set by this city's latitude.
Against the nearest city
Ipoh is 175 km away, and today its Rahu Kaal runs 08:32–10:02 against Kuala Lumpur's 08:29–10:00. Sunrise differs, so the eighth differs. That gap is the reason this page is computed for Kuala Lumpur rather than for the region.
