Kairāna Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Kairāna, India

Prayer times in Kairāna are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (29.40°N). We use the Karachi method, the one followed across India. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Kairāna's times use the Karachi method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in India. They are drawn from Kairāna's own coordinates (29.3954°N, 77.2054°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Kairāna's prayer times are worked out

From Kairāna, the Qibla is 265° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,840 km (2,386 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Kairāna's own coordinates (29.40°N, 77.21°E), not a national average. That is why Kairāna's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Kairāna timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Kairāna lies well west inside its Kolkata time zone. So the sun peaks about 30 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:20 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 38m near June down to 11h 41m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Kairāna 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 Shāmli, Panipat Taraf Makhdum Zadgan and Panipat. Each is only a few minutes off Kairāna's clock.
