Indian astrology, also known as Vedic astrology or Jyotish Shastra, is an ancient system of astrology that originated thousands of years ago in India. Rooted in the Vedas—India’s oldest sacred texts—it uses the precise time, date, and place of birth to create a detailed birth chart called a kundli or janam patri.
It plays a significant role in various aspects of Indian culture, including marriage matchmaking, naming ceremonies, and important life decisions. Many people in India still consult astrologers for guidance on health, relationships, career, and spiritual growth.

In Vedic astrology, Rahu Kalam, Gulika Kalam, and Yamaganda are specific time periods during the day that are traditionally considered inauspicious for initiating any new or significant ventures such as business deals, travel, or ceremonies. These segments of time are not associated with planetary transits but are instead derived from the division of daylight hours between sunrise and sunset, and they vary based on the day of the week and geographical location.
Rahu Kalam is ruled by the shadow planet Rahu and is believed to bring delays or unexpected obstacles. Gulika Kalam is linked to Saturn’s son Gulika and is associated with stagnation or repetition of efforts. Yamaganda, named after Yama (the god of death), is considered a time when actions may lead to failure or negative outcomes. Recognizing and avoiding these periods is a common practice in Indian households, especially when planning activities that require success and positivity.
