About the time in Gorakhpur
The zone identifier Asia/Kolkata is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Kolkata keeps pointing at Kolkata time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 05:50 and sunset at 06:36 local time, giving 12h 46m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (23.15, 79.85) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Gorakhpur.
Gorakhpur sits at latitude 23.15, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 46m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
