About the time in Kandhar
Kandhar runs on Asia/Kolkata, which puts the city UTC +5:30 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Clocks in Kandhar stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +5:30 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in India.
Sunrise today lands at 06:03 and sunset at 06:45 local time, giving 12h 41m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (18.84, 77.26) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Kandhar.
