About the time in Kanpur
Around 3,258,451 people live in Kanpur, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 05:43 and sunset at 06:40 local time, giving 12h 57m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (26.44, 80.27) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Kanpur.
Kanpur 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.
