About the panchang in Ranchi
Ranchi keeps UTC+05:30 all year, with no daylight saving, so timings change only with the seasons.
Sunrise in Ranchi moves from 5:03 AM (May 30) to 6:33 AM (Jan 7), and daylight lasts from 10 h 39 min to 13 h 32 min. Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika are each one-eighth of the daytime, so in Ranchi 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: Ranchi'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.
