Why Varanasi’s timings are its own
Varanasi lies at 25.32° N, 83.01° E, and keeps Asia/Kolkata time (UTC+05:30 today). Local solar noon — the middle of the daylight — falls at 11:41 by the clock, so every daylight division (Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Abhijit and the day choghadiyas) is anchored there.
Sunrise today is 06:07, −7 min against Bengaluru (06:14), because Varanasi sits 5.4° east and 12.3° north of it while sharing the same clock. Daylight lasts 11 h 08 min here and 11 h 38 min in Bengaluru.
Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana change at the same instant everywhere on Earth; only the local clock reading differs, so in India these ending times match Bengaluru’s. The limb in effect at sunrise can still differ between cities on days when a change falls close to sunrise.
