Why do rahu kaal times in Bhopal differ from the Delhi reference?

This page is computed for Bhopal’s own coordinates (23.26°N, 77.41°E) in the Asia/Kolkata time zone, not re-used from Delhi. Because every window is anchored to local sunrise, a different longitude shifts the clock times — and cities far east or west of Delhi can even observe a different tithi for the day.

Do I need to adjust these times for my exact location?

Within the same city the sunrise shift across suburbs is only a minute or two, so the times above are directly usable. If you are in a different city, open its page from the city links below for its own sunrise-anchored windows.
