From 12:00 – 1:23 pm on Wednesday, 28 October 2026 (Indian Standard Time), worked out from Rishikesh's sunrise (6:27 am) and sunset (5:33 pm). It is one eighth of the daytime; which eighth depends on the weekday.

Rahu Kaal is worked out from local sunrise and sunset. Sunrise comes at a different time in each city, so Rahu Kaal moves by a few minutes from place to place.
