Not in Kolkata?
2 h 36 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 4:52 PM in Kolkata
Sunset, and with it Pradosh, comes 33 minutes earlier in Kolkata than in New Delhi (5:25 PM). Kolkata lies 11.1° east of New Delhi. The Earth turns through that in about 45 minutes, so on longitude alone the sun sets 45 minutes earlier here. Kolkata's latitude takes back 12 minutes of that: it changes the length of the day and of the night.
