Kollam's times use the Karachi method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in India. They are drawn from Kollam's own coordinates (8.8811°N, 76.5847°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Kollam's prayer times are worked out

From Kollam, the Qibla is 294° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,171 km (2,592 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Kollam's own coordinates (8.88°N, 76.58°E), not a national average. That is why Kollam's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Kollam sits just 8.88°N of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Karachi method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 56m. The shortest is about 12h 52m. That is a swing of only 1h 04m between June and December. Whenever Ramadan falls, fasting hours here stay much the same — something cities farther from the equator never see.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Kollam 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 Kayamkulam, Nedumangād and Tiruvalla. Each is only a few minutes off Kollam's clock.
