Gulika Kaal Status
*Calculated based on Sunrise at 06:15 am in Tiruchirappalli.
Gulika Kaal in Tiruchirappalli is from 10:35 am to 12:02 pm. Governed by Gulika (son of Saturn), this time is generally considered inauspicious for starting good work, but good for recurring activities like paying loans.
It is generally avoided for auspicious beginnings, but it is believed that any action done during Gulika Kaal is repeated again.
In Tiruchirappalli, it is from 10:35 am to 12:02 pm.
Gulika Kaal is a specific period of the day considered under the influence of Gulika (or Maandi), which is a sub-planet and son of Saturn. It is generally considered inauspicious for starting new positive ventures.
Activities that you wish to repeat, like paying off debts (so the debt doesn't recur), or buying vehicles (so you buy more), or taking medicine (so illness is repeated only if you want it to be - be careful here!), are sometimes performed during Gulika Kaal. It's also suitable for routine tasks.
Avoid starting new businesses, signing important contracts, beginning journeys, performing marriage ceremonies, or any activity where you desire a singular, successful outcome that you don't wish to repeat.
Gulika Kaal is calculated similar to Rahu Kaal and Yamaganda, by dividing the daytime (Sunrise to Sunset) and nighttime (Sunset to next Sunrise) into eight equal parts. The segment for Gulika varies by day of the week.
Both are generally considered inauspicious for new beginnings. Some astrologers view Rahu Kaal as more potent for preventing success, while Gulika Kaal is more about repetition of action, which can be good or bad depending on the act.
