Today's Subha Hora for Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India (Asia/Kolkata) is based on sunrise at 05:57 পূর্বাহ্ণ and sunset at 06:32 অপরাহ্ণ local time. Each daylight hora spans one-twelfth of the interval between those two moments, and each night hora spans one-twelfth of the time from sunset until the next sunrise - so the table above reflects Chennai's actual sky, not a generic national schedule. Near the tropics, day and night lengths stay relatively balanced through the year, so individual hora here change less dramatically between seasons than in temperate cities.
