Brahma Muhurta uses a fixed 48-minute muhurta. Navkarsi, Porsi, Sadh Porsi and Purimaddh follow the Jain pachchakkhan: a prahar is a quarter of the daytime, so it is longer in summer than in winter. Tulu-e-Aftab is the sunrise, the end of the Fajr window; follow your mosque for prayer times. How Navkarsi and Porsi are calculated · Methodology

The sun is directly overhead at solar noon on 10 June (12:40 PM) and 2 July (12:45 PM) 2026, when upright objects cast almost no shadow.
In Sanand, the longest day of 2026 is 21 June, with 13h 33m of daylight, and the shortest is 22 December, with 10h 43m: a difference of 2 hours 50 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 8 June (5:54 AM) and the latest sunset on 3 July (7:30 PM). These dates do not fall on the solstice because Earth's orbit is elliptical and its axis is tilted, so solar noon drifts through the year. Sanand lies between the tropics, so the sun is directly overhead at solar noon twice a year: on 10 June and 2 July.
