About the time in Thoothukkudi
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.
Thoothukkudi 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.
Sunrise today lands at 06:10 and sunset at 06:32 local time, giving 12h 22m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (8.84, 77.96) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Thoothukkudi.
