    if sunrise is at 7:15 am and sunset is at 5:55 pm then how we calculate the porsi, dedh porsi , do porsi and tin porsi

    Answer

    If you are using the common Jain way of counting porsi from sunrise to sunset, then:

    • Sunrise: 7:15 AM
    • Sunset: 5:55 PM

    Total daylight = 10 hours 40 minutes = 640 minutes

    So:

    • 1 porsi = 1/8 of daylight
    • Dedh porsi = 1.5 porsi
    • Do porsi = 2 porsi
    • Tin porsi = 3 porsi

    Calculation

    Step 1: Divide daylight by 8

    640 ÷ 8 = 80 minutes

    So:

    • 1 porsi = 80 minutes = 1 hour 20 minutes

    Step 2: Calculate each one

    • Dedh porsi = 1.5 × 80 = 120 minutes = 2 hours
    • Do porsi = 2 × 80 = 160 minutes = 2 hours 40 minutes
    • Tin porsi = 3 × 80 = 240 minutes = 4 hours

    Time from sunrise

    Starting from 7:15 AM:

    • 1 porsi ends at 8:35 AM
    • Dedh porsi ends at 9:15 AM
    • Do porsi ends at 9:55 AM
    • Tin porsi ends at 11:15 AM

    Explanation

    This is the usual method:

    1. Take the time from sunrise to sunset
    2. Divide it into 8 equal parts
    3. Count porsi from sunrise

    So in your example, one porsi is 1 hour 20 minutes.

    Takeaway

    For 7:15 AM sunrise and 5:55 PM sunset:

    • Porsi = 8:35 AM
    • Dedh porsi = 9:15 AM
    • Do porsi = 9:55 AM
    • Tin porsi = 11:15 AM

    If you want, I can also show you a simple formula/table you can use for any sunrise and sunset time.
