About the panchang in Salem
Salem keeps UTC+05:30 all year, with no daylight saving, so timings change only with the seasons.
Sunrise in Salem moves from 5:53 AM (May 22) to 6:43 AM (Jan 19), and daylight lasts from 11 h 24 min to 12 h 46 min. Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika are each one-eighth of the daytime, so in Salem they last about 86 minutes in the shortest days and 96 minutes in the longest: never a fixed 90 minutes, and never fixed clock times.
All calculations use Drik Ganita: Salem'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.
