Not in Mumbai?
2 h 35 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 5:59 PM in Mumbai
Sunset, and with it Pradosh, comes 34 minutes later in Mumbai than in New Delhi (5:25 PM). Mumbai lies 4.3° west of New Delhi. The Earth turns through that in about 17 minutes, so on longitude alone the sun sets 17 minutes later here. Mumbai's latitude adds another 17 minutes: it changes the length of the day and of the night.
