Prayer Times in Chintamani, India

Chintamani's times use the Karachi method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in India. They are drawn from Chintamani's own coordinates (13.4005°N, 78.0517°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Chintamani's prayer times are worked out

From Chintamani, the Qibla is 288° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,142 km (2,573 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Chintamani's own coordinates (13.40°N, 78.05°E), not a national average. That is why Chintamani's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Chintamani timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Chintamani lies well west inside its Kolkata time zone. So the sun peaks about 26 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:16 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 14m near June down to 12h 37m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Chintamani 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 Sidlaghatta, Kolār and Chik Ballāpur. Each is only a few minutes off Chintamani's clock.
