Thiruvaiyaru is located 1,982 km south of New Delhi, so Dhuhr in Thiruvaiyaru comes about 8 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 Thiruvaiyaru.
