Rahu and Ketu change signs on Saturday, 5 December 2026. Rahu leaves Kumbam (Aquarius) for Magaram (Capricorn), Ketu leaves Simmam (Leo) for Kadagam (Cancer), and they stay on this axis until 24 June 2028, a little over eighteen months. In Tamil homes this is Rahu Ketu Peyarchi, and the first question about it is always the same: what does it do to my rasi.
This page answers that rasi by rasi, read from the Moon sign as Tamil practice reads it, with the dates computed for the Thirukanitha panchangam and a note on why the Vakya panchangam and the temples may keep a different day. Two things are worth holding before you turn to your own section. The nodes have no signs of their own and act through the planets that own and occupy the signs they sit in, so Rahu in Magaram works through Saturn and Ketu in Kadagam through the Moon. And a transit triggers what the dasha has already promised. A Rahu or Ketu with nothing to do in your running dasha passes quietly; the same transit during a period of Rahu, Ketu, Saturn or the Moon is felt clearly.
Rahu Ketu Peyarchi 2026: the dates
| Event | Date and time (IST) | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Rahu enters Magaram, Ketu enters Kadagam (mean node, Lahiri) | 5 December 2026, 22:32 | The Thirukanitha date, and the one Jagannatha Hora gives by default |
| The same change in Drik Panchang | 5 December 2026, 19:28 | A slightly different Lahiri constant; nothing in the reading changes |
| By the true node | 25 November 2026 | Panchangams built on the true node give this earlier date |
| By the KP ayanamsa | 7 December 2026 | For readers who cast charts in KP |
| Rahu moves on to Dhanusu, Ketu to Mithunam | 24 June 2028, 01:29 | By the true node, 24 May 2028 |
Vakya panchangams compute the nodes from their own tables, and the temples that follow them, Thirunageswaram for Rahu and Keezhaperumpallam for Ketu among them, announce the Peyarchi on their own day. The two systems can be far apart. For Saturn the gap is about eleven months at present: the Vakya panchangam moved Saturn into Meenam on 6 March 2026, while the computed position entered Meenam on 29 March 2025. If you keep the temple observance, take the date from the temple. For reading a chart against events, the computed date is the one that matches the sky.
The nakshatra phases, and your birth star
Rahu and Ketu always move backwards through the zodiac, so they enter a sign at its last degree and leave at the first. On the way each passes through three nakshatras, and the lord of the nakshatra colours the result. This is how KP reads a node and how most Tamil astrologers time it within the Peyarchi.
| Node | Nakshatra (degrees) | Star lord | Dates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rahu | Avittam (Dhanishta), Capricorn 30° to 23°20′ | Mars | 5 December 2026 to 10 April 2027 |
| Rahu | Thiruvonam (Shravana), 23°20′ to 10° | Moon | 10 April 2027 to 18 December 2027 |
| Rahu | Uthiradam (Uttara Ashadha), 10° to 0° | Sun | 18 December 2027 to 24 June 2028 |
| Ketu | Ayilyam (Ashlesha), Cancer 30° to 16°40′ | Mercury | 5 December 2026 to 14 August 2027 |
| Ketu | Poosam (Pushya), 16°40′ to 3°20′ | Saturn | 14 August 2027 to 22 April 2028 |
| Ketu | Punarpoosam (Punarvasu), 3°20′ to 0° | Jupiter | 22 April 2028 to 24 June 2028 |
Under Mars’s Avittam, Rahu is quick and impatient; in the Moon’s Thiruvonam it steadies and learns to listen; in the Sun’s Uthiradam it is drawn to authority, government and rank. Ketu in Mercury’s Ayilyam cuts through the mind’s habits, in Saturn’s Poosam it turns disciplined and serious, and in its last two months, in Jupiter’s Punarpoosam, it leans towards return and renewal.
If your birth star is one of these six, the node passes over your janma natchathiram during its phase. That makes the months personal rather than bad. People born in Avittam (first two padas), Thiruvonam and Uthiradam (last three padas) are Magaram rasi, and Rahu crosses their Moon. People born in Ayilyam, Poosam and Punarpoosam (fourth pada) are Kadagam rasi, and Ketu crosses theirs. The exact month depends on your Moon’s degree; the box at the end of this page works it out for your own chart.
The other slow planets in these months
A Peyarchi is never read alone. Saturn and Jupiter both change their relation to the new axis while it lasts, and for several rasis they matter as much as the nodes.
Saturn is in Meenam (Pisces) until 3 June 2027, in Mesham (Aries) from 3 June to 20 October 2027, back in Meenam until 23 February 2028, and in Mesham after that. From Mesham, Saturn’s tenth aspect falls on Magaram, so from June to October 2027 and again from February 2028 Saturn looks at Rahu in its own sign. What Rahu has pushed for is tested then; whatever was built on proper ground stands.
Jupiter is in Simmam until 25 January 2027, then retrogrades into Kadagam until 26 June 2027, returns to Simmam until 26 November 2027, spends three months in Kanni (Virgo) until 28 February 2028, and comes back to Simmam until 24 July 2028. In Kadagam it joins Ketu, exactly on 1 March 2027 at 25°28′ Cancer and again on 20 April 2027 at 22°50′, a week after turning direct on 13 April. From there it also aspects Rahu in Magaram. Jupiter with Ketu is the gentlest form Ketu can take: study, a teacher, a pilgrimage, a letting go that is chosen rather than forced. Between 26 November 2027 and 28 February 2028, from Kanni, Jupiter’s fifth aspect falls on Rahu again.
Mars passes over Rahu once in the whole period, on 7 January 2028 at 8°55′ Capricorn, where Mars is exalted. The week either side asks for patience with quarrels and with hurried decisions.
Three solar eclipses fall on the axis. The annular eclipse of 6 February 2027 is at 23°24′ Capricorn, in Avittam, on Rahu’s side, and is not visible from India. The total solar eclipse of 2 August 2027 is at 15°42′ Cancer, in Poosam, on Ketu’s side; India sees it as a partial eclipse in the late afternoon, in Chennai from 16:02 to 17:41 with the greatest phase at 16:54 (magnitude 0.45), in Bengaluru from 15:58 to 17:43, in Mumbai from 15:47 to 17:31, in Delhi from 15:53 to 17:02 and in Kolkata from 16:14 to 17:12. The annular eclipse of 26 January 2028, at 11°54′ Capricorn in Thiruvonam, is again not visible from India. The lunar eclipses of these months are penumbral (21 February, 18 July and 17 August 2027), which are not observed as grahanam, or fall in Indian daytime (the partial eclipse of 12 January 2028).
Rahu Ketu Peyarchi Palan: the twelve rasis at a glance
The classical texts count Rahu and Ketu well placed in the 3rd, 6th and 11th from the Moon, and many practitioners add the 10th for Rahu where work is concerned. The table gives each rasi’s houses; the sections below give the reading and the months.
Want this read in your own chart?
Reading your own chart is good for learning and unreliable for deciding. Not because the technique is difficult, but because nobody has distance from their own timing. A period you are hoping for and a period you are dreading get read differently, and neither reading is the chart.
This page gives you the general reading for that placement. What it cannot do is weigh it against the rest of your chart, or tell you which version of it is yours.

Mesham (Aries)
Rahu in the 10th, Ketu in the 4th from the Moon. Rahu in the 10th pushes work forward. Responsibility comes your way, sometimes from an institution or a senior you did not expect to notice you, and the wish to rise is strong. In Saturn’s sign it favours steady organisations over gambles. Ketu in the 4th takes some of the comfort out of home for a while: a move, a renovation, a mother who needs more of your time, a property matter that asks you to let something go. You may feel restless in the one place you usually rest.
The larger change for Mesham in these months is Saturn’s. Saturn is in the 12th from your Moon until 3 June 2027, then crosses onto your Moon sign until 20 October, and settles there from 23 February 2028; the long middle of your Ezharai Sani begins inside this Peyarchi. Jupiter is the support. It is in the 5th from your Moon for most of the period, the best help a Mesham native can have for judgement, children and studies, and between January and June 2027, from Kadagam, it aspects Rahu in your 10th and keeps ambition honest.
Take the responsibility, in writing and in steps. Keep decisions about the house slow, and put the mother’s health check on the calendar rather than in the worry list. The steadiest months for work are Rahu’s Thiruvonam phase, 10 April to 18 December 2027. The general reading of Rahu in the 10th from the Moon has more on the career side.
Rishabam (Taurus)
Rahu in the 9th, Ketu in the 3rd from the Moon. Ketu in the 3rd is one of its good positions. Effort goes further than it seems to, the hesitation before a first move loosens, and younger siblings or colleagues manage without you. Rahu in the 9th turns the mind to large questions: a long journey or study abroad, a new teacher, a different way of keeping faith. It can unsettle the relationship with the father or with someone who has guided you, and it can bring the father’s health into view; neither calls for alarm, both call for attention.
For Rishabam the months before June 2027 deserve to be used well. Saturn is in the 11th from your Moon until 3 June 2027, the best place it can be for gains and for finishing what was started, and Ketu in the 3rd adds the push. Then Saturn enters the 12th from your Moon, briefly from June to October 2027 and for good from 23 February 2028, and your Ezharai Sani begins. Jupiter is in the 4th from your Moon for most of the period, which favours home and vehicles; in the 3rd with Ketu from January to June 2027, which favours writing, travel and nerve; and in the 5th, from Kanni, between 26 November 2027 and 28 February 2028.
Finish, file and settle before mid-2027 whatever you would not want to carry into Saturn’s 12th. Travel and learn, and check the credentials of any new teacher or adviser Rahu brings. More on the 9th-house side is in Rahu in the 9th from the Moon.
Mithunam (Gemini)
Rahu in the 8th, Ketu in the 2nd from the Moon. This is one of the two more demanding positions of the nodes, and it is better said plainly and then put in proportion. The 8th from the Moon is where worry lives: a health concern that will not settle, money that depends on other people (a loan, an insurance claim, a share in family property), news that arrives without warning. Ketu in the 2nd thins the attachment to savings and family routine. Speech can come out flatter or sharper than intended, and money spent on the family is not missed until it is gone.
The proportion comes from Saturn and Jupiter. Saturn is in the 10th from your Moon until 3 June 2027, heavy on work, and then moves into the 11th, from June to October 2027 and for good from 23 February 2028, one of its best positions for Mithunam: income steadies and old effort is paid for. Jupiter sits in the 2nd from your Moon between 25 January and 26 June 2027, on the Ketu side itself, which protects family money and speech in exactly the months Ketu would loosen them.
Keep money matters documented, avoid standing guarantor or lending in haste, and treat a health worry as a reason for a doctor’s appointment rather than for searching symptoms at night. The research mind Rahu gives in the 8th is real; astrology, psychology and any deep subject reward it. See Rahu in the 8th from the Moon.
Kadagam (Cancer)
Rahu in the 7th, Ketu in the 1st from the Moon. Kadagam is the rasi this change touches most directly, because Ketu walks over the Moon sign itself, Janma Ketu, with Rahu opposite in the 7th. Ketu on the Moon is felt as distance from your own reactions. Things that used to move you leave you oddly calm, the mind goes inward, and restlessness alternates with a wish to be left alone. Rahu in the 7th puts partnership in front of you: a marriage that needs attention, a business partner from a different background, or, for the unmarried, an attraction to someone outside the expected circle.
Two things make this easier than its reputation. Jupiter enters Kadagam on 25 January 2027 and stays until 26 June, passing exactly over Ketu on 1 March and again on 20 April. Jupiter with Ketu on the Moon is the softest form this transit takes: reflection, a teacher, a pilgrimage, the kind of quiet that clears the head. From Kadagam, Jupiter also aspects Rahu in your 7th and steadies the partnership. Saturn, meanwhile, is in the 9th from your Moon until June 2027 and then in the 10th, which brings work and responsibility rather than personal trouble.
Ketu crosses the birth stars in turn: Ayilyam from December 2026 to August 2027, Poosam from August 2027 to April 2028, and Punarpoosam (fourth pada) for the last two months. Keep the routines that hold the body and the day together, sleep, meals at fixed times, a walk. Make no relationship decision in a hurry, in either direction. Routine medical checks are sensible while Ketu is on the Moon. The general reading is in Ketu over the Moon sign.
Simmam (Leo)
Rahu in the 6th, Ketu in the 12th from the Moon. Rahu in the 6th from the Moon is one of its strongest positions. Competition, disputes and debts become things you can deal with; a court matter or a workplace rivalry tends to turn your way; a health problem that needed discipline responds to it. Ketu in the 12th quiets the nights and opens the purse: pilgrimage, retreat, a family member’s needs abroad, medical expenses that are better planned than feared. Sleep matters more than usual.
This help arrives when Simmam needs it. Saturn is in the 8th from your Moon, Ashtama Sani, until 3 June 2027; it moves into the 9th from June to October 2027, returns for four months, and leaves your 8th for good on 23 February 2028. Jupiter is in Simmam itself for much of the period (until 25 January 2027, again from 26 June to 26 November 2027, and from 28 February 2028), which keeps you visible and protected, though Jupiter on the Moon is traditionally a time for patience more than expansion. Its best months for Simmam are 26 November 2027 to 28 February 2028, in the 2nd from your Moon, for money and family.
Settle debts and disputes, take the health routine seriously, and spend Rahu’s competitive edge on work rather than on quarrels. Plan the 12th-house spending; it is the kind of expense that is worth it when chosen. See Rahu in the 6th from the Moon.
Kanni (Virgo)
Rahu in the 5th, Ketu in the 11th from the Moon. Ketu in the 11th is one of its good positions: gains come quietly, a long-held wish is met in a simpler form than you imagined, and the circle of friends shrinks to the ones who count. Rahu in the 5th asks for attention to children and studies, crowds the mind with ideas and attractions, and makes speculation look easier than it is. Students of Kanni rasi often change subjects or methods under it, and parents find a child’s choices surprising.
The first half of 2027 is Kanni’s strongest stretch. Jupiter joins Ketu in the 11th from your Moon between 25 January and 26 June 2027, the most productive window of the whole period for income, for an elder sibling’s help and for completing what is pending. Saturn is in the 7th from your Moon until June 2027, testing partnerships, and then enters the 8th, from 3 June to 20 October 2027 and for good from 23 February 2028, so your Ashtama Sani begins inside this Peyarchi. Jupiter passes over your Moon sign between 26 November 2027 and 28 February 2028.
Use January to June 2027 to finish and to earn. While Rahu is in the 5th, keep money out of speculation; this is a time for learning and for children, not for trading. Before Saturn’s 8th begins, put health checks and paperwork in order. See Rahu in the 5th from the Moon.
Thulam (Libra)
Rahu in the 4th, Ketu in the 10th from the Moon. Rahu in the 4th unsettles the home: a move, a purchase or sale of property, a vehicle, a mother who needs you more, a restlessness that makes the house feel small. Property papers deserve a second reading under it. Ketu in the 10th takes the shine off work. A role can end or change, recognition matters less than it did, and some people take a pause or a quieter post while others turn their work towards research or service.
Thulam has good support in these months. Saturn is in the 6th from your Moon until 3 June 2027, one of its best positions, which gives the stamina to manage both the house and the work. Jupiter is in the 11th from your Moon for most of the period, the best place for gains, and between 25 January and 26 June 2027 it joins Ketu in the 10th, which turns a career pause into a reorientation. From June 2027 Saturn moves into the 7th from your Moon, Kandaka Sani, briefly until October and then from 23 February 2028, and partnerships and marriage come into focus.
Decide property matters slowly and on paper, give the mother time, and let a career change be a considered one. The gains Jupiter brings in the 11th are a good reason not to panic about the 10th. See Rahu in the 4th from the Moon.
Viruchigam (Scorpio)
Rahu in the 3rd, Ketu in the 9th from the Moon. Viruchigam is among the rasis that gain most from this change. Rahu in the 3rd is one of its best positions: courage, initiative, short journeys, writing, media, and anything that depends on putting yourself forward go well, and a younger sibling or colleague may become an ally. Ketu in the 9th loosens the hold of old teachers, rituals and the father’s views. Faith turns personal, and a pilgrimage or a quiet study of something spiritual suits it.
Saturn adds to it. It is in the 5th from your Moon until 3 June 2027, which keeps children and judgement under some pressure, and then moves into the 6th, from June to October 2027 and for good from 23 February 2028, Saturn’s strongest position for overcoming obstacles. Jupiter joins Ketu in the 9th from your Moon between 25 January and 26 June 2027, a good time for the father, for teachers, for higher study and long journeys, and between 26 November 2027 and 28 February 2028 it is in the 11th, for gains.
Start the course, write the proposal, make the move you have been preparing; Rahu in the 3rd rewards effort that is seen. Keep the father’s health and your own practice in view while Ketu is in the 9th. See Rahu in the 3rd from the Moon.
Dhanusu (Sagittarius)
Rahu in the 2nd, Ketu in the 8th from the Moon. This is the other demanding axis, and for Dhanusu it sits on money and on what lies underneath. Rahu in the 2nd brings money in unusual ways and spends it in unusual ways; family conversations get sharper; diet and speech both want watching. Ketu in the 8th turns the mind towards hidden matters, research and the occult, and brings sudden events that are usually smaller than they first look. Health deserves routine attention rather than worry.
Saturn is in the 4th from your Moon until 3 June 2027, Ardhashtama Sani, pressing on home and peace of mind, and then moves into the 5th, from June to October 2027 and from 23 February 2028, where it bears on children and studies. The steadying force is Jupiter, in the 9th from your Moon for most of the period, which protects the father, faith and luck. Between 25 January and 26 June 2027 Jupiter is in the 8th with Ketu; those are the months to keep finances conservative and to see any medical matter through properly.
Write a budget and keep it, and say less in family arguments than you feel. Avoid new loans and large commitments between January and June 2027. Use Ketu’s inward turn for study; it suits Dhanusu better than most. See Rahu in the 2nd from the Moon.
Magaram (Capricorn)
Rahu in the 1st, Ketu in the 7th from the Moon. Rahu on the Moon sign, Janma Rahu, is felt as restlessness and appetite: for change, for recognition, for a new version of yourself. Ambition runs ahead of patience, and the body asks for more discipline than you want to give it. Ketu in the 7th puts distance into partnerships. A spouse or business partner may seem withdrawn, or you may feel you are carrying the relationship alone for a while.
Magaram has two helpers. Saturn, the lord of your rasi, is in the 3rd from your Moon until 3 June 2027, its best position for grit and steady progress. And Jupiter in Kadagam, between 25 January and 26 June 2027, sits in the 7th from your Moon with Ketu and aspects your Moon sign and Rahu together, a protection for the marriage and a check on Rahu’s excess. From June 2027 Saturn moves into the 4th from your Moon, Ardhashtama Sani, briefly until October and then from 23 February 2028, and its tenth aspect falls on Rahu in your own rasi: home, property and the mother come into view, and Saturn insists that the new self be built properly.
Rahu crosses your birth star: Avittam (first two padas) from December 2026 to April 2027, Thiruvonam from April to December 2027, Uthiradam (last three padas) from December 2027 to June 2028. Keep a fixed routine for sleep, food and exercise, give the partner time and plain speech, and let ambition take the slower road Saturn approves of. See Rahu over the Moon sign.
Kumbam (Aquarius)
Rahu in the 12th, Ketu in the 6th from the Moon. Kumbam gets the most relief from this change. Rahu has been on your Moon sign since May 2025 and now leaves it, and Ketu moves into the 6th from your Moon, one of its best positions, where it helps against rivals, disputes, debts and lingering health complaints. Rahu in the 12th brings expenses and distance: foreign travel or work abroad, a hospital bill that can be planned, pilgrimages, late nights. It suits those who work with other countries or in seclusion, and it is restless for sleep.
The larger relief is Saturn’s. Saturn is in the 2nd from your Moon until 3 June 2027, the last phase of your Ezharai Sani; it moves into the 3rd from June to October 2027, comes back for four months, and leaves on 23 February 2028, when your seven and a half years end. Jupiter is in the 7th from your Moon for most of the period, good for marriage and partnerships, and in the 6th with Ketu between 25 January and 26 June 2027, when disputes and health matters tend to resolve.
Budget for the 12th-house spending and protect your sleep. Finish legal and health matters while Ketu is in the 6th. From February 2028 you can plan for growth again. See Ketu in the 6th from the Moon.
Meenam (Pisces)
Rahu in the 11th, Ketu in the 5th from the Moon. Rahu in the 11th is one of its best positions: income, network, an elder sibling’s help, the fulfilment of a wish that has waited. For Meenam it arrives at the right time, because Saturn is on your Moon sign, the peak of your Ezharai Sani, until 3 June 2027. Ketu in the 5th makes the mind contemplative and turns attention to children, studies and mantra. A child may go their own way, a romance may cool, and spiritual practice suits these months better than speculation.
Saturn moves into the 2nd from your Moon from 3 June to 20 October 2027 and again from 23 February 2028, the last phase of the seven and a half years, which bears on family and savings. Jupiter joins Ketu in the 5th from your Moon between 25 January and 26 June 2027, good for children, studies and the mind, and between 26 November 2027 and 28 February 2028 it is in the 7th, good for marriage.
Accept the help and the gains Rahu brings in the 11th, and do not let Saturn’s weight persuade you to refuse them. Give children room, and keep money out of speculation while Ketu is in the 5th. See Rahu in the 11th from the Moon.
Pariharam for Rahu Ketu Peyarchi
Tamil tradition gives the nodes their own deities and their own temples: Durga for Rahu, with the Naganathaswamy temple at Thirunageswaram near Kumbakonam; Vinayagar for Ketu, with the Naganathaswamy temple at Keezhaperumpallam near Poompuhar; and Srikalahasti in Andhra Pradesh for the two together. If you keep these observances, a visit, a lamp to Durga at Rahu kalam, or a Vinayagar archanai on Chaturthi is enough. No gemstone is needed for a transit, and I do not recommend one for it.
What does the most work in a node transit is conduct. In the house Rahu occupies, slow your decisions down and check what you are told. In the house Ketu occupies, keep turning up even when the interest has gone, because the matters of that house still need you.
Frequently asked questions
When is Rahu Ketu Peyarchi 2026?
On 5 December 2026: at 22:32 IST by the mean node and the Lahiri ayanamsa used on this site and in Jagannatha Hora, at 19:28 IST in Drik Panchang, and on 25 November 2026 by the true node. Rahu moves from Kumbam to Magaram and Ketu from Simmam to Kadagam.
Why does my temple give a different date?
Temples such as Thirunageswaram and Keezhaperumpallam follow the Vakya panchangam, which computes the nodes from its own tables, and the day it gives can differ from the computed one. Follow the temple for the observance. For reading your chart against events, use the computed date.
How long do Rahu and Ketu stay in Magaram and Kadagam?
Until 24 June 2028 by the mean node (24 May 2028 by the true node), when Rahu moves into Dhanusu and Ketu into Mithunam. That is about eighteen and a half months.
Which rasis gain most, and which need care?
Rahu is best placed for Viruchigam (3rd), Simmam (6th) and Meenam (11th); Ketu for Rishabam (3rd), Kumbam (6th) and Kanni (11th). The rasis that need care are Kadagam and Magaram, where the nodes sit on the Moon sign and the 7th, and Mithunam and Dhanusu, where they sit on the 2nd and the 8th. In every case Saturn and Jupiter shift the balance during the period, which is why each section above gives their months too.
Should I read my rasi or my lagnam?
Tamil practice reads a Peyarchi from the rasi, the Moon sign, and that is how this page is written; it describes how the period feels and what it touches in daily life. The lagnam shows the outward events more precisely. If you know it, read the ascendant-wise reading of the same transit as well.
My dasha is of Rahu or Ketu. Does this Peyarchi matter more for me?
Yes. A node transit is felt most by people running a Rahu or Ketu mahadasha or antardasha, and by those in periods of Saturn or the Moon, the lords of Magaram and Kadagam. The dasha decides what can happen; the transit decides when. Your own dasha dates and the months these transits touch your natal planets are in the free chart PDF from the box below.
The exact degrees, the KP view and the earlier Rahu in Capricorn cycles are in the main page on the Capricorn-Cancer transit, and the same transit read for each Moon sign in English terms is in Rahu-Ketu transit 2026 to 2028 for all twelve Moon signs. Jupiter’s months in Simmam are read rasi by rasi in Jupiter in Leo for all twelve Moon signs, and Saturn’s move into Mesham in Sani Peyarchi 2027 to 2028. If you would like the Peyarchi read on your own chart and dasha, I take 45-minute consultations by phone or WhatsApp call, Rs 3,100 or US $37, on the consultation page.
Want this read in your own chart?
Reading your own chart is good for learning and unreliable for deciding. Not because the technique is difficult, but because nobody has distance from their own timing. A period you are hoping for and a period you are dreading get read differently, and neither reading is the chart.
Pick a time on the booking page and I call you on WhatsApp at that time. Keep about an hour free. The call itself runs 45 minutes, by voice, in English, Hindi or Punjabi, and you can follow up by message afterwards.
