Kāraikāl, the Sun and the clock

Kāraikāl is in Puducherry and has about 87,000 people. Kāraikāl lies 2.7° west of the 82.5° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 11 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:11, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests.

Kāraikāl lies within the tropics. Around 19 April and 25 August the Sun passes straight overhead at Dhuhr, and upright objects cast almost no shadow at noon. Days in Kāraikāl range from 11h 29m in December to 12h 46m in June, a difference of 1h 17m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them.
