Did You Know?
Chandigarh was planned by Le Corbusier from 1951 after Partition left Punjab without a capital, laid out as numbered sectors each about 800 by 1,200 metres. Its Capitol Complex is on the UNESCO list.
The clock: Chandigarh keeps UTC+5:30 and serves as capital of two states at once — Punjab and Haryana — while belonging to neither.
Chandigarh lies at 76.8°E. Its time zone, UTC+5:30, is built around the 82.5°E meridian. The 5.7° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 23 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:23 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+5:30 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 14h 8m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 10h 9m. The swing between them is 3h 59m. At this latitude the seasons are visible in the clock, but never dramatic.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Chandigarh the sun comes up earliest on 12 June at 05:19, while the latest sunset waits until 2 July at 19:30. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Chandigarh that civil twilight runs about 24 minutes at the equinox.
Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
