Not in Guwahati?
2 h 40 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 4:31 PM in Guwahati
Sunset, and with it Pradosh, comes 54 minutes earlier in Guwahati than in New Delhi (5:25 PM). Guwahati lies 14.5° east of New Delhi. The Earth turns through that in about 58 minutes, so on longitude alone the sun sets 58 minutes earlier here. Guwahati's latitude takes back 4 minutes of that: it changes the length of the day and of the night.
