How these are worked out. Sunrise and sunset come from the Sun's actual position for your latitude and longitude on this date. Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika are the fixed eighths of that daylight span for the weekday, and the Choghadiya divides day and night into eight parts each. Because everything is anchored to real sunrise, the times shift through the year as they should.
