It is worked out from the city's own sunrise and sunset, which change with latitude, longitude and season. The same weekday can differ by half an hour or more between cities.
What should I avoid in Rahu Kaal?
By tradition, starting something new: a journey, a purchase, signing papers, a ceremony. Work already begun and daily routine carry on as usual.
