Not in Karnal?
2 h 42 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 5:24 PM in Karnal
Sunset, and with it Pradosh, comes 1 minute earlier in Karnal than in New Delhi (5:25 PM). Karnal 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. Karnal's latitude takes back 2 minutes of that: it changes the length of the day and of the night.
