How Devakottai's prayer times are worked out

From Devakottai, the Qibla is 292° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,351 km (2,704 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Devakottai's own coordinates (9.95°N, 78.82°E), not a national average. That is why Devakottai's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Devakottai sits just 9.95°N of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Karachi method, the longest daily fast is about 14h 00m. The shortest is about 12h 48m. That is a swing of only 1h 12m between June and December. Whenever Ramadan falls, fasting hours here stay much the same — something cities farther from the equator never see.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Devakottai 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 Kāraikkudi, Pudukkottai and Paramagudi. Each is only a few minutes off Devakottai's clock.
