How Jaisalmer's prayer times are worked out

From Jaisalmer, the Qibla is 266° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,203 km (1,990 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Jaisalmer's own coordinates (26.92°N, 70.90°E), not a national average. That is why Jaisalmer's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Jaisalmer timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Jaisalmer lies well west inside its Kolkata time zone. So the sun peaks about 55 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:31 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 22m near June down to 11h 50m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Jaisalmer 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 Bārmer, Saddiqabad and Daharki. Each is only a few minutes off Jaisalmer's clock.
