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

Varanasi, the Sun and the clock

Varanasi is in Uttar Pradesh and has about 1,200,000 people. Varanasi lies almost on the 82.5° E meridian that its time zone is based on, so the Sun is highest close to 12:00 on the clock, around 11:58 on average. Dhuhr begins just after that moment.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Varanasi: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 88° above the horizon in June and only 41° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Varanasi range from 10h 34m in December to 13h 43m in June, a difference of 3h 9m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them.

Maghrib time Varanasi 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 Varanasi, calculated with the same method.
