How Dāhānu's prayer times are worked out

From Dāhānu, the Qibla is 279° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,419 km (2,124 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Dāhānu's own coordinates (19.97°N, 72.71°E), not a national average. That is why Dāhānu's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Dāhānu timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Dāhānu lies well west inside its Kolkata time zone. So the sun peaks about 48 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:38 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 44m near June down to 12h 14m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Dāhānu 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 Pālghar, Silvassa and Vapi. Each is only a few minutes off Dāhānu's clock.
