How Alandur's prayer times are worked out

From Alandur, the Qibla is 288° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,377 km (2,720 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Alandur's own coordinates (13.00°N, 80.21°E), not a national average. That is why Alandur's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Alandur timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Alandur lies well west inside its Kolkata time zone. So the sun peaks about 18 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:08 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 13m near June down to 12h 38m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Alandur come from the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi. The Karachi method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 18°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Ullagaram, Ramapuram and Nerkunram. Each is only a few minutes off Alandur's clock.
