Bhubaneswar is located 1,273 km south-east of New Delhi, so Dhuhr in Bhubaneswar is called roughly 34 minutes earlier than in New Delhi. The gap is due to longitude: every degree of longitude shifts solar noon by about four minutes, which is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Bhubaneswar.
