Dhaka is the capital of Bangladesh, with a population of about 10,356,500. It uses the Bangladesh Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier Asia/Dhaka).
Dhaka does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+6 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.
Other cities on the same clock include Chittagong.
Because Dhaka lies at 23.71° N, 90.41° E, the length of the day changes moderately through the year: around the June solstice there are about 13 h 36 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 10 h 40 min.
