Bikaner's times use the Karachi method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in India. They are drawn from Bikaner's own coordinates (28.0176°N, 73.3149°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Bikaner's prayer times are worked out

From Bikaner, the Qibla is 265° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,450 km (2,144 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Bikaner's own coordinates (28.02°N, 73.31°E), not a national average. That is why Bikaner's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Bikaner timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Bikaner lies well west inside its Kolkata time zone. So the sun peaks about 45 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:35 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 29m near June down to 11h 46m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Bikaner 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 Nokha, Sri Dūngargarh and Nāgaur. Each is only a few minutes off Bikaner's clock.
