- Against New Delhi. Sunrise in Kanpur today is at 6:14 AM, 15 minutes earlier than New Delhi (6:29 AM); sunset is at 5:31 PM, 10 minutes earlier than New Delhi (5:41 PM). Longitude: Kanpur lies 3.1° east of Delhi, so local noon comes 12 minutes sooner (11:53 AM against 12:05 PM). Latitude: Kanpur lies 2.2° south of Delhi, and from the September equinox to the March one, days run longer the further south you go; today's daylight here is 5 minutes longer (11 hours 18 minutes against 11 hours 13 minutes), which pulls sunrise earlier and pushes sunset later by about 2 minutes each. A Delhi table would put the day Horas 10–15 minutes too late here today; use this page's own times.
- How long each Hora lasts. A daytime Hora is a twelfth of the daylight, 56 minutes today, and a night Hora 1 hour 4 minutes; only near the equinoxes is a Hora close to sixty minutes.
- Local noon. Midway between sunrise and sunset, Kanpur's noon falls at 11:53 AM today, 7 minutes before 12:00 on the clock. Kanpur lies 2.2° west of the 82.5° E meridian its clock keeps, which makes noon 9 minutes late; the time of year (the equation of time) takes off 16 minutes today. Abhijit Muhurat is centred on this moment, not on twelve o'clock.
- Day length. Kanpur has 11 hours 18 minutes of daylight today, against 11 hours 28 minutes a week ago and 11 hours 8 minutes a week from now: the days here are getting shorter by about 10 minutes a week, and will until the shortest day, around 21 December. In 2026 the longest day is 13 hours 48 minutes (around 21 June) and the shortest 10 hours 29 minutes (around 21 December), a swing of 3 hours 19 minutes, less than New Delhi's 3 hours 39 minutes.
- The year's extremes. The earliest sunrise of 2026 is 5:15 AM (around 9 June) and the latest 6:58 AM (around 12 January); the earliest sunset is 5:16 PM (around 30 November) and the latest 7:06 PM (around 1 July). None falls on a solstice: the Sun's clock time drifts through the year, so the latest mornings come weeks after the shortest day.
- The overhead Sun. Kanpur lies 26.4° north, 3.0° beyond the Tropic of Cancer, so the Sun never stands directly overhead: at its highest, around 21 June, it is 87° above the horizon at noon.
- The calendar here. Uttar Pradesh counts its lunar months from full moon to full moon (purnimanta), so today is Ashwin Purnima.
- Nearest cities. Lucknow (75 km north-east) — sunrise 2 minutes earlier; Prayagraj (189 km south-east) — sunrise 7 minutes earlier.

Twenty-four Hora periods — twelve in daylight, twelve at night — each ruled by one of the seven classical planets in a fixed repeating order that starts from the lord of the weekday.
Everything above comes from the same computation behind today's full Panchang, using Swiss Ephemeris positions and your city's actual coordinates rather than a national average.
For what these periods mean and how they are traditionally used — including their limits — read the Hora guide. For choosing a time deliberately, see how muhurta is actually chosen.
The slow transits work on a different scale entirely — Saturn and Jupiter change sign in years rather than in hours. Shani Gochar, Guru Gochar, Rahu Ketu Gochar, Sade Sati, Mercury retrograde.
Timing guidance here is a framework for planning, not medical, legal or financial advice. Never delay medical care for a timing window.
Hora questions, answered
Which Hora is running right now in Kanpur?
The Sun Hora is running now in Kanpur, from 11:53 PM to 12:56 AM. It is traditionally read as neutral.
What time does Hora start in Kanpur today?
The table above starts at sunrise in Kanpur, which is 6:14 AM today. Every window on this page is measured from that sunrise, so the first period begins there rather than at midnight.
Why is Hora different in Kanpur than in Delhi?
Because the periods are divisions of the time between Kanpur's own sunrise and sunset, not a national table. Sunrise differs across India by well over an hour, so a time computed for Delhi is wrong in Kanpur by a meaningful margin.
How many Hora periods are there?
24 are listed above for Kanpur — the full set covering sunrise to the next sunrise.
Delhi and every major city on one page: Hora today.
These windows are derived from local sunrise, so they differ by city. A time computed for Delhi is wrong in Chennai by a meaningful margin.
