How Jaffna's timings are worked out
Everything on this page is computed for Jaffna's own coordinates (9.6685, 80.0074) in Asia/Colombo, from the Swiss Ephemeris. The Sun rises at 5:59 AM and sets at 5:51 PM, giving 11 h 52 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.
