How Benoni's timings are worked out
Everything on this page is computed for Benoni's own coordinates (-26.1885, 28.3208) in Africa/Johannesburg, from the Swiss Ephemeris. The Sun rises at 5:32 AM and sets at 6:12 PM, giving 12 h 40 m of daylight. Each kaal is one eighth of that, and each choghadiya too; each hora is one twelfth. That is why these times differ from a calendar printed for another city, and why they shift a little every day.
