Not in Coimbatore?
2 h 29 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 5:56 PM in Coimbatore
Sunset, and with it Pradosh, comes 31 minutes later in Coimbatore than in New Delhi (5:25 PM). Coimbatore lies 0.2° west of New Delhi. The Earth turns through that in about 1 minute, so on longitude alone the sun sets 1 minute later here. Coimbatore's latitude adds another 30 minutes: it changes the length of the day and of the night.
