I agree with Sri T.R.Govindarajan's observation . Sunrise and sunset are crucial points in time for calculation of the Yogam , thithi , kaalam , kuLikai, Yama kandam , selection of times free of dhOsham for observance of subha kaaryams et al . All tie together in our sampradhAyam with the Sunrise and sunset . SandhyA Vandhanam done here connects to sunrise here or wherever we are , be in Europe or Japan . Regarding NirdhOsha kaalams , it is generally coceded that there is no thithi dhOsham at dawn , no nakshathra dhOsham during Abhijhit mUhUrtham ( Between 12and half to fifteen naazhikai ) , no lagna dhOsham during sunset and no vaara dhOsham during night . GrahaNa tarpaNam is done on occasions of GrahaNam , which some times is seen in India and some times here only . Thus , it apppears logical to fit into the local time and geographic parameters in defining our nithya, Naimmitthika karmAs . V.Sadagopan
