How Bhopal's prayer times are worked out

From Bhopal, the Qibla is 274° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,860 km (2,398 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Bhopal's own coordinates (23.25°N, 77.40°E), not a national average. That is why Bhopal's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Bhopal timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Bhopal lies well west inside its Kolkata time zone. So the sun peaks about 29 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:19 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 01m near June down to 12h 03m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Bhopal 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 Mandideep, Sehore and Vidisha. Each is only a few minutes off Bhopal's clock.
