What is Rahu Kalam?
In the traditional Tamil panchangam reckoning, the daytime span is divided into eight parts, each assigned to a graha; the part belonging to Rahu is rahu kalam. By tradition, starting auspicious work in this window is avoided.
Rahu's assigned part shifts with the weekday, and the part's length follows that day's sunrise-to-sunset span. The same calendar date can therefore show different rahu kalam timings in two cities.

How AstroYogam computes it
The engine computes the selected city's exact sunrise and sunset (disc-center with refraction, historical timezone) and derives the day's timing windows from them. The card on this page shows that computation directly; no time is ever invented by AI.
Method
Yama gandam, gulika kalam and nalla neram
Yama gandam and gulika kalam come from the same eight-part division of the daytime and are also traditionally avoided. Nalla neram, by contrast, marks the day's favorable windows. The card below shows all of them together.
The full interactive panchangam - tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and more - is in the AstroYogam app.
