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

In Madattukkulam, the longest day of 2026 is 21 June, with 12h 45m of daylight, and the shortest is 22 December, with 11h 31m: a difference of 1 hour 14 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 30 May (5:57 AM) and the latest sunset on 12 July (6:47 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. Madattukkulam lies between the tropics, so the sun is directly overhead at solar noon twice a year: on 17 April and 25 August.
