Golden and blue hour in Dhaka: all twelve months
Everything derives from the coordinates of Dhaka (23.8103, 90.4125) and the Asia/Dhaka timezone — no estimates. The planning-relevant part: the evening window here swings between 30 minutes in March and 34 in December — schedule "an hour" and you are wrong in both.

Fitting the window into the shoot day
The evening window is the reliable half: the crew is warmed up, the setup exists, and golden hour is the last slot before wrap. The morning window right after sunrise (until 05:45 in June) instead requires camera and lighting to be standing before sunrise — with a call well before 05:12.
After sunset, Dhaka still offers the blue hour: from 19:03 to 19:13 in June (10 minutes). If you need both looks on one evening, everything from the start of golden hour to the end of blue hour is one continuous window — with no room for a re-rig inside it.
Frequently asked
When is golden hour in Dhaka today?
Pick today's date in the calculator above — it computes the times for Dhaka from the coordinates, DST included. As a bearing: in mid-June it starts at 18:15, in mid-December at 16:41.
How long does golden hour last in Dhaka?
Between 30 minutes (March) and 34 minutes (December) in the evening. The name misleads — it never actually reaches a full hour here.
How accurate are the times?
To about one minute (standard NOAA-style solar computation). Not included: horizon shading from buildings or hills to the west — which can genuinely shorten the window at your location.
