| Sunset | 5:22 PM | The Sun's upper edge leaving the horizon. |
| Day length | 11h 19m 57s | Sunrise to sunset. Called dinamana in a panchang. |
| Night length | 12h 40m 37s | Sunset to the next sunrise. Called ratrimana. |
| Moonrise | 5:16 PM | The first after today's sunrise, dated when it falls after midnight. |
Daylight changes a little each day. These seven rows are calculated for Varanasi and stay on this stable URL rather than creating dated pages. Tomorrow's sunrise and sunset for twelve cities, each on its own tomorrow, are on sunrise tomorrow.

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 Varanasi: Choghadiya, Hora and Rahu Kaal are all divisions of the interval between it and sunset.
For tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and the full set of muhurta windows, open the full Panchang for Varanasi.
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.
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. They are the first after this sunrise and before the next — the panchang day — so a moonrise after midnight carries the next date. The Moon rises roughly 50 minutes later each day, so on some days it does not rise at all in that span and that row is omitted rather than left blank.
Sunrise and sunset questions, answered
What time is sunrise in Varanasi today?
The Sun rises in Varanasi at 6:02 AM today, calculated for the city's own latitude and longitude rather than a national average.
What time is sunset in Varanasi today?
Sunset in Varanasi is at 5:22 PM today.
How long is the day in Varanasi today?
11 hours 19 minutes of daylight and 12 hours 40 minutes of darkness. A panchang calls those two figures dinamana and ratrimana.
Why is sunrise in Varanasi 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 Varanasi's coordinates, which is also why the Choghadiya, Hora and Rahu Kaal windows measured from it differ from Delhi's.
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.
