How Durgapur's prayer times are worked out

From Durgapur, the Qibla is 277° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,862 km (3,021 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Durgapur's own coordinates (23.52°N, 87.31°E), not a national average. That is why Durgapur's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Durgapur timetable through the year. With the Karachi method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 03m around June. It eases to 12h 02m by December. That is a 3h 01m swing, set by the city's latitude of 23.52°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Durgapur 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. Durgapur sits east of its Kolkata meridian. The sun peaks about 11 minutes before noon, so Dhuhr today is 11:47 AM. We also publish times for nearby Jāmuria, Āsansol and Bānkura. Each is only a few minutes off Durgapur's clock.
