Frequently Asked Questions
What is Gulika Kaal?
Gulika Kaal (also called Gulikai or Mandi Kaal) is one of the eight equal parts of the daytime, considered inauspicious and ruled by Gulika, a son of Saturn. Starting new ventures during it is traditionally avoided.
How is Gulika Kaal calculated?
The daytime (sunrise to sunset) is divided into eight equal parts. The Gulika part depends on the weekday — Sunday 7th, Monday 6th, Tuesday 5th, Wednesday 4th, Thursday 3rd, Friday 2nd and Saturday 1st.
Is Gulika Kaal worse than Rahu Kaal?
Both are inauspicious daytime periods. Some traditions hold that actions begun in Gulika Kaal tend to recur, so it is especially avoided for one-time events like weddings, while ongoing work and daily worship are unaffected.
