Gadhra is located 1,115 km south-east of New Delhi, so Dhuhr in Gadhra comes about 36 minutes earlier than in New Delhi. This difference comes from longitude: every degree of longitude moves solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Gadhra.
