About the panchang in Varanasi
Varanasi keeps UTC+05:30 all year, with no daylight saving, so timings change only with the seasons.
Sunrise in Varanasi moves from 5:08 AM (May 31) to 6:46 AM (Jan 6), and daylight lasts from 10 h 31 min to 13 h 40 min. Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika are each one-eighth of the daytime, so in Varanasi they last about 79 minutes in the shortest days and 103 minutes in the longest: never a fixed 90 minutes, and never fixed clock times.
All calculations use Drik Ganita: Varanasi'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.
