Shimla does not change its clocks; times stay on Asia/Kolkata all year. How times are calculated

Shimla, the Sun and the clock

Shimla is the main city of Himachal Pradesh, home to about 170,000 people. The nearest larger city is Chandigarh, 55 km to the southwest. Shimla lies 5.3° west of the 82.5° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 21 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:21, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Shimla: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 82° above the horizon in June and only 35° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Shimla range from 10h 7m in December to 14h 10m in June, a difference of 4h 3m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them. At 2,073 m above sea level, Shimla sits on high ground. Times are calculated for a level horizon; from a hilltop or a tall building sunrise can come a little earlier and sunset a little later than listed, while mountains to the east or west do the opposite.

Maghrib time Shimla compared with nearby cities

Prayer times shift with longitude: about 4 minutes for every degree east or west. Here is how today's Fajr and Maghrib in nearby places compare with Shimla, calculated with the same method.
