The arithmetic for Chennai
Sunrise is 6:00 AM and sunset 5:46 PM: 11 h 46 m of daylight. Divided into eight, each part is about 88 minutes. On a Tuesday Rahu Kaal is the 7th part, which puts it at 2:50 PM – 4:18 PM. In summer the parts lengthen and in winter they shorten, so the window drifts through the year as well as differing from city to city.
