Horacal (Planetary Times)

This app will assist you in finding the Raahu (also known as Rahu, Raahu kalaya, Rahukaalam, Rahukalam, inauspicious time) Gulika and Yamagandam periods.

Period of Raahu is a certain amount of time every day that is considered inauspicious. It is a good idea to avoid Raahu period before starting any new activity.

Any activity commenced during Gulika period will be repeated once again. So its an auspicious time for starting activities like building a house, buying assets or vehicles.

Yamagandam means death time. Only death ceremonies are performed during this period. Activities during Yamagandam leads to a failure or destruction of the end-result. Avoid commencing important, money-related or travel activities during this time.
