Tonight here reads much as it does from Kanpur, India, whose page says it for both.

How it is worked out: the Sun, the Moon and the planets from the same ephemerides the sky map draws, for Nagpur at 21.15°N, 79.09°E, with a flat horizon and the light-pollution atlas’s estimate of its sky. Dark means the Sun 18° below the horizon; a planet counts once it is 10° up. The methods and their measured errors.
