How Kolhāpur's prayer times are worked out

From Kolhāpur, the Qibla is 284° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,647 km (2,266 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Kolhāpur's own coordinates (16.70°N, 74.23°E), not a national average. That is why Kolhāpur's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Kolhāpur timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Kolhāpur lies well west inside its Kolkata time zone. So the sun peaks about 42 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:39 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 29m near June down to 12h 25m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Kolhāpur 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 Ichalkaranji, Nipāni and Shahuwadi. Each is only a few minutes off Kolhāpur's clock.
