Not in Bikaner?
2 h 41 min, starting at sunset.
Nirnaya Sindhu quotes Vyasa: “trimuhūrtaḥ pradoṣaḥ syād bhānāv astaṃ gate sati”, that is, Pradosh is the three muhurtas after the sun has set. Three of the night's fifteen muhurtas are its first fifth, worked out from this city's own sunset.
Why Pradosh begins at 5:41 PM in Bikaner
Sunset, and with it Pradosh, comes 16 minutes later in Bikaner than in New Delhi (5:25 PM). Bikaner lies 3.9° west of New Delhi. The Earth turns through that in about 16 minutes, so on longitude alone the sun sets 16 minutes later here. Almost all of the difference is longitude.
