Sunrise and sunset today in Kanpur
The Sun rises in Kanpur at 5:45 AM today and sets at 6:34 PM, giving 12 hours 48 minutes of daylight.
Both times are computed from this city's own latitude and longitude for today's date, not read from a national table. India keeps one clock across roughly 30 degrees of longitude, so real sunrise varies across the country by well over an hour.

What this sunrise decides
Most of a panchang is measured from sunrise rather than from midnight, so the figure above sets the boundaries of the day's other timings in Kanpur: Choghadiya, Hora and Rahu Kaal are all divisions of the interval between it and sunset.

Other cities
Sunrise and sunset are properties of a place, so each city is calculated separately. A time computed for Delhi is wrong in Chennai by a meaningful margin.

How this is calculated
Positions come from the Swiss Ephemeris, using this city's coordinates and today's date. Sunrise and sunset are the moments the Sun's upper edge crosses the horizon, which is the convention a printed panchang uses and the reason these times differ by a minute or two from a "centre of the disc" figure.
Moonrise and moonset come from the same calculation for the Moon. The Moon rises roughly 50 minutes later each day, so on some days it does not rise at all within the calendar day and that row is omitted rather than left blank.
Common questions
What time is sunrise in Kanpur today?
The Sun rises in Kanpur at 5:45 AM today, calculated for the city's own latitude and longitude rather than a national average.

How long is the day in Kanpur today?
12 hours 48 minutes of daylight and 11 hours 12 minutes of darkness. A panchang calls those two figures dinamana and ratrimana.
Why is sunrise in Kanpur different from Delhi?
India keeps one clock across roughly 30 degrees of longitude, so actual sunrise differs across the country by well over an hour. Every figure here is computed for Kanpur's coordinates, which is also why the Choghadiya, Hora and Rahu Kaal windows measured from it differ from Delhi's.
