Not in Cuttack?
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 5:05 PM in Cuttack
Sunset, and with it Pradosh, comes 20 minutes earlier in Cuttack than in New Delhi (5:25 PM). Cuttack lies 8.7° east of New Delhi. The Earth turns through that in about 35 minutes, so on longitude alone the sun sets 35 minutes earlier here. Cuttack's latitude takes back 15 minutes of that: it changes the length of the day and of the night.
