The DateTime class is used to create an object from the timestamp 1638318242. If a DateTime object is created from a timestamp, the time zone is always UTC. With the method setTimeZone() the object is converted into the desired time zone (here Asia/Kolkata). The output can then be brought into the desired form using the format method.

<?php
$sunrise = 1638318242;

$dateTime = date_create('@'.$sunrise)->setTimeZone(new DateTimeZone("Asia/Kolkata"));

echo "Sunrise in Calcutta on ". $dateTime->format('F j, Y \a\t H:i');
//Sunrise in Calcutta on December 1, 2021 at 05:54
