About the panchang in Howrah
Howrah keeps UTC+05:30 all year, with no daylight saving, so timings change only with the seasons.
Sunrise in Howrah moves from 4:52 AM (Jun 2) to 6:20 AM (Jan 10), and daylight lasts from 10 h 42 min to 13 h 29 min. Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika are each one-eighth of the daytime, so in Howrah they last about 80 minutes in the shortest days and 101 minutes in the longest: never a fixed 90 minutes, and never fixed clock times.
All calculations use Drik Ganita: Howrah's own sunrise and sunset (NOAA solar formulas) and the true positions of the Sun and Moon (Astronomy Engine, validated against NASA JPL), with Lahiri ayanamsa.
