What this clock is showing
The ring is twenty-four hours, midnight at the top, running clockwise. There are sixteen parts: eight choghadiya of the day and eight of the night. The hand is the present moment.
The day parts and the night parts are deliberately different widths. They would be equal only if the sun were up for exactly twelve hours, which happens twice a year. Every other day that difference is real — and it is why another city's choghadiya is not yours.
Whose "good" and "bad" this is
Gold is what the tradition calls auspicious and red is what it does not. That is the tradition's classification, not a forecast. We do not say what will happen if you do something in one of these parts, because there is no measurement of that.
Rahu Kaal is drawn as a separate band outside the ring rather than by recolouring what is inside it. Painting over the choghadiya it crosses would destroy that part's own answer; they are two different calculations and both should be visible.
What this page will not do
It will not tell you to avoid anything. We will say what the tradition holds about Rahu Kaal; we will not make the leap to "do nothing now or else", and that leap is what the entire remedies market rests on.
There is no remedy here, no donation, no mantra, and nothing to buy.
