The warm light starts well before that: evening golden hour opens at 17:35, giving 31 minutes of low golden light before the sun reaches the horizon. Sunset is not the end of the light either.

Is the day getting longer or shorter in Najafgarh right now?
Najafgarh gets 11h 52m of daylight today, from sunrise to sunset. Tomorrow will be 1 minute 41 seconds shorter. Over the next seven days Najafgarh loses 11 minutes 46 seconds of daylight.
That pace is not constant. In Najafgarh the day length changes fastest around March, near the equinox, when it moves by about 1 minute 43 seconds per day, and it slows almost to a stop at the solstices in June and December. The word solstice means exactly that: the sun standing still.
When are the earliest and latest sunrise and sunset in Najafgarh?
The earliest sunset of 2026 in Najafgarh falls on 1 December at 17:24, 20 days before the December solstice, and the latest on 1 July at 19:24.
Sunrise runs on its own schedule: earliest on 10 June at 05:23, latest on 11 January at 07:16, 21 days after the December solstice. The four dates in the table below do not line up with the solstices, and they are not supposed to. Earth's orbit is slightly elliptical and its axis is tilted, so the sun runs a few minutes fast or slow against clock time through the year. That offset, the equation of time, is what pushes the earliest sunset ahead of the shortest day and the latest sunrise behind it.
| Extreme | Date | Local time | Why then |
|---|---|---|---|
| Earliest sunrise | 10 Jun 2026 | 05:23 | 11 days before the June solstice |
| Latest sunrise | 11 Jan 2026 | 07:16 | 21 days after the December solstice |
| Earliest sunset | 1 Dec 2026 | 17:24 | 20 days before the December solstice |
| Latest sunset | 1 Jul 2026 | 19:24 | 10 days after the June solstice |
