How Chinnachowk's prayer times are worked out

From Chinnachowk, the Qibla is 286° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,187 km (2,602 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Chinnachowk's own coordinates (14.48°N, 78.84°E), not a national average. That is why Chinnachowk's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Chinnachowk timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Chinnachowk lies well west inside its Kolkata time zone. So the sun peaks about 23 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:13 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 19m near June down to 12h 33m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Chinnachowk 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 Kadapa, Badvel and Proddatūr. Each is only a few minutes off Chinnachowk's clock.
