Seven-day sun and traditional timing schedule

Why one timezone has many sunrise times

IST is the same civil time across India. Sunrise is tied to the sky above a particular place, so latitude, longitude and season still change the local daylight schedule. A shared clock does not make Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata share a sunrise.

The seven-day table shows the selected city’s changing schedule. Rahu and Gulika are traditional divisions of that calculated daylight, rather than fixed national intervals.

What changes when you choose another city?

The clock stays on IST, but sunrise and sunset are recalculated using the selected city’s latitude and longitude. At a given time of year, moving east generally shifts the solar day earlier; latitude and season also affect the daylight duration.

The seven-day table uses consecutive civil dates for the same city. Its Rahu and Gulika windows are calculated from each day’s own sunrise-to-sunset interval, rather than copying today’s result across the week.
