The four windows people confuse
Three inauspicious, one auspicious. All four are eighths of today's solar arc in Raipur.
Rahu Kaal
Rahu
07:27 – 08:55
The window to avoid beginning anything new — travel, signing, buying, a first meeting.
Yamaganda
Ketu
10:22 – 11:50
Also avoided for new beginnings, and routinely mistaken for Rahu Kaal.
Gulika Kaal
Saturn
13:18 – 14:46
Saturn's eighth. Traditionally avoided, though held to be the mildest of the three.
Abhijit Muhurat
Brahma
11:27 – 12:14
The opposite: the midday window held to be auspicious for almost anything.

When Raipur's clocks change
India does not change its clocks, so the only thing that moves Rahu Kaal here is the Sun: sunrise in Raipur is 05:24 at the June solstice and 06:37 at the December one, 73 minutes apart.
Why Raipur needs its own figure
Across the year
In Raipur, Rahu Kaal is shortest at 81 minutes and longest at 101 minutes across the year, a spread of 20 minutes set by this city's latitude.
Against the nearest city
Bhilai is 27 km away, and today its Rahu Kaal runs 07:28–08:56 against Raipur's 07:27–08:55. Sunrise differs, so the eighth differs. That gap is the reason this page is computed for Raipur rather than for the region.
