About the time in Palakkad district
Sunrise today lands at 06:13 and sunset at 06:38 local time, giving 12h 25m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (10.78, 76.65) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Palakkad district.
Palakkad district sits at latitude 10.78, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 25m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
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.
