Not in Ranchi?
2 h 37 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 5:02 PM in Ranchi
Sunset, and with it Pradosh, comes 23 minutes earlier in Ranchi than in New Delhi (5:25 PM). Ranchi lies 8.1° east of New Delhi. The Earth turns through that in about 32 minutes, so on longitude alone the sun sets 32 minutes earlier here. Ranchi's latitude takes back 9 minutes of that: it changes the length of the day and of the night.
