Rahu Kaal is a period of about 90 minutes every day that Indian tradition regards as inauspicious for beginning new ventures, travel, purchases or ceremonies. It is named for Rahu, one of the two lunar nodes, and is calculated afresh each day from local sunrise and sunset, so the time for Vrindavan differs from that of other cities.
The daytime is split into eight equal parts, and Rahu Kaal is one of them depending on the weekday: the 8th part on Sunday, 2nd on Monday, 7th on Tuesday, 5th on Wednesday, 6th on Thursday, 4th on Friday and 3rd on Saturday. Customs vary by region and family, and many people simply avoid starting something new in this window.

No. Rahu Kaal is a fixed one-eighth of the daytime (sunrise to sunset), chosen by weekday, so it shifts with each city's sunrise and sunset. Vrindavan's times above are calculated for its own coordinates.
Traditionally, starting new ventures, travel, purchases and auspicious ceremonies are avoided during Rahu Kaal, while routine work and prayers already under way continue. Practices vary by region and family.
