How Koch Bihār's prayer times are worked out

From Koch Bihār, the Qibla is 275° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 5,045 km (3,135 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Koch Bihār's own coordinates (26.33°N, 89.45°E), not a national average. That is why Koch Bihār's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Koch Bihār timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Koch Bihār lies well east inside its Kolkata time zone. So the sun peaks about 19 minutes before clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 11:31 AM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 19m near June down to 11h 52m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Koch Bihār 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 Alīpur Duār, Lalmonirhat and Jaigaon. Each is only a few minutes off Koch Bihār's clock.
