How Budge Budge's prayer times are worked out

From Budge Budge, the Qibla is 278° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,966 km (3,086 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Budge Budge's own coordinates (22.48°N, 88.18°E), not a national average. That is why Budge Budge's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Budge Budge timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Budge Budge lies well east inside its Kolkata time zone. So the sun peaks about 14 minutes before clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 11:22 AM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 57m near June down to 12h 06m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Budge Budge 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 Maheshtala, Uluberiya and Bankra. Each is only a few minutes off Budge Budge's clock.
