Rahu Kaalam is linked to the 8th Graham among Nava Graham . This is typically an asubha graham , who is also a trunkless person ( Head cut off during the distribution of nectar ). Auspicious events are not started during the Raahu Kaalam , a time set aside for Raahu . It is 90 minutes , which varies from day to day . Sun Rise time is used to compute those 90 minutes for the 7 week days linked to the 7 subha grahams among nava grahams. For instance , Raahu Kaalam is between 7.30 AM to 9 AM on MOnday . It is 4.30 PM to 6 PM on Sunday devoted to Sooryan , the First of the Nava Grahams . 2. Yama Kantam : There are 90 minutes ( One and half hours ) devoted to this and the connection here is to Kethu , the 9th of the Nava graham with inauspicous connotions again like Raahu . Yama Kantam on Monday is between 10.30 to 12.00 Noon . On Sunday , it is between 12.00 Noon to 1.30 PM . 3. GuLikan is devoted to Bhagavathi , whose worship is prominent in KeraLa. There are day GuLikans and Night GuLikans . It is also a time period of 90 minutes , which vary from day to day . For Monday , the Pahal(Day) GuLikan is between 1.30 to 3.00 PM and the night GuLikan is between 7.30 PM to 9 PM .Various Theyyam uthsavams at KeraLa Bhagavathy temples are elaborate affairs with colorful masks of Bhagavathy , a goddess of many moods . I request other devotees to add othe rinformation related to these questions. Hope this helps , V.Sadagopan ------------------------ Yahoo!
