Paramagudi is located 2,126 km south of New Delhi, so Dhuhr in Paramagudi is called about 6 minutes earlier than in New Delhi. This difference comes from longitude: every degree of longitude moves solar noon by about four minutes, which is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Paramagudi.
