Frequently asked questions
Why is Rahu Kaal at a different time each day in Boston?
Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the time between local sunrise and sunset, so it moves with the seasons. In Boston it lasts about 1h 55m around the June solstice and 1h 08m around the December solstice.
Which time zone are these Boston timings in?
All times are local Boston time (America/New_York), which is 10.5 hours behind India (IST) in January. Boston observes daylight saving time, and the timings switch automatically when the clocks change.
Are Hindu festival dates in Boston the same as in India?
Not always. Over the next 12 months, 12 of the 35 major festivals listed here fall on a different date in Boston than in New Delhi. Festival dates depend on the tithi at local sunrise, midday or midnight, so the local date is the correct one to observe in Boston.
