IST (UTC+5:30) is anchored at 82.5°E, near Mirzapur. Kanpur sits at 80.3319°E, so its local solar time runs roughly 9 minutes behind clock time, and that offset carries into the lagna and house cusps.
These figures are calculated from Kanpur's coordinates (26.4499°N, 80.3319°E) with an astronomical ephemeris, not estimated. All clock times are Indian Standard Time (IST).
| Date (2026) | Sunrise | Sunset | Day length |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 Mar (equinox) | 06:12 | 18:19 | 12h 7m |
| 21 Jun (longest day) | 05:16 | 19:04 | 13h 48m |
| 23 Sep (equinox) | 05:57 | 18:04 | 12h 7m |
| 21 Dec (shortest day) | 06:52 | 17:21 | 10h 29m |
Day length in Kanpur swings by 3h 19m between the longest and shortest day, the 11th largest of the 30 cities on this site. Its 21 June sunrise at 05:16 IST is the 5th earliest of the 30. That is 8 minutes before Delhi's 21 June sunrise.
A worked example of the effect on lagna: at 06:00 IST on 21 June 2026 the sidereal ascendant in Kanpur is Gemini, and it moves into Cancer at 07:12 IST. At the same latitude on the 82.5°E IST meridian that change happens at 07:03 IST, so in Kanpur it comes 9 minutes later than on the meridian.
The same test in winter: at 06:00 IST on 21 December 2026 the ascendant in Kanpur is Scorpio, moving into Sagittarius at 06:35 IST, against 06:26 IST on the 82.5°E meridian, so 9 minutes later than the meridian. That is a different sign from the June example because the Sun has moved on.
The closest other city on this site to Kanpur is Lucknow, 75 km away. It has solar time 2 minutes ahead of Kanpur, a 21 June sunrise 3 minutes earlier and a day-length swing 4 minutes larger.
Method: ephemeris sunrise/sunset (sea level, with refraction); ascendant from mean obliquity and Lahiri ayanamsa. Other software may differ by a minute or two.

Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh) lies at 80.3319°E, so its local time runs about 9 minutes behind IST, which is set at 82.5°E. Lagna and house boundaries depend on that, so the right city matters even though India uses one clock.
Near a sign boundary, yes. By our calculation, on 21 June 2026 the Gemini ascendant in Kanpur moves into Cancer at 07:12 IST, while at the same latitude on 82.5°E it does so at 07:03 IST. A birth between those two times gets a different lagna depending on the place used.
By our calculation, on 21 June 2026 the Sun rises in Kanpur at 05:16 IST and sets at 19:04 IST, while on 21 December it rises at 06:52 IST. Vara (weekday) and many panchang calculations start from local sunrise, so for a birth near dawn both the place and the date change the answer.
