How Ambattur's prayer times are worked out

From Ambattur, the Qibla is 288° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,369 km (2,715 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ambattur's own coordinates (13.10°N, 80.16°E), not a national average. That is why Ambattur's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Ambattur timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Ambattur 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 12:15 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 Ambattur 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 Maduravoyal, Avadi and Vīrarāghavapuram. Each is only a few minutes off Ambattur's clock.
