Frequently asked questions
Why is Rahu Kaal at a different time each day in Nairobi?
Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the time between local sunrise and sunset, so it moves with the seasons. In Nairobi it lasts about 1h 31m around the December solstice and 1h 30m around the June solstice.
Which time zone are these Nairobi timings in?
All times are local Nairobi time (Africa/Nairobi), which is 2.5 hours behind India (IST). Nairobi does not use daylight saving time.
Are Hindu festival dates in Nairobi the same as in India?
Not always. Over the next 12 months, 4 of the 35 major festivals listed here fall on a different date in Nairobi than in New Delhi (Makar Sankranti / Pongal, Ganesh Chaturthi, Sharad Purnima, Diwali). Festival dates depend on the tithi at local sunrise, midday or midnight, so the local date is the correct one to observe in Nairobi.
