Sunrise today lands at 06:02 and sunset at 06:21 local time, giving 12h 19m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (7.35, 80.31) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Gorokgahapotta.
The zone identifier Asia/Colombo is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Colombo keeps pointing at Colombo time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
