Frequently asked questions
Why is Rahu Kaal at a different time each day in Houston?
Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the time between local sunrise and sunset, so it moves with the seasons. In Houston it lasts about 1h 45m around the June solstice and 1h 17m around the December solstice.
Which time zone are these Houston timings in?
All times are local Houston time (America/Chicago), which is 11.5 hours behind India (IST) in January. Houston observes daylight saving time, and the timings switch automatically when the clocks change.
Are Hindu festival dates in Houston the same as in India?
Not always. Over the next 12 months, 13 of the 35 major festivals listed here fall on a different date in Houston 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 Houston.
