Not in Thiruvananthapuram?
2 h 28 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 Thiruvananthapuram
Sunset, and with it Pradosh, comes 34 minutes later in Thiruvananthapuram than in New Delhi (5:25 PM). Thiruvananthapuram lies 0.3° west of New Delhi. The Earth turns through that in about 1 minute, so on longitude alone the sun sets 1 minute later here. Thiruvananthapuram's latitude adds another 33 minutes: it changes the length of the day and of the night.
