Prayer Times in Loni, India
Prayer times in Loni are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (28.75°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.
Loni's times use the Karachi method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in India. They are drawn from Loni's own coordinates (28.7514°N, 77.2902°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Loni's prayer times are worked out
From Loni, the Qibla is 266° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,843 km (2,388 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Loni's own coordinates (28.75°N, 77.29°E), not a national average. That is why Loni's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
One local quirk shapes the Loni timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Loni lies well west inside its Kolkata time zone. So the sun peaks about 29 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:27 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 33m near June down to 11h 43m in December.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Loni 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 Karāwalnagar, Mustafābād and Sādatpur Gujran. Each is only a few minutes off Loni's clock.

Two Asr times are in use in India
Most Indian mosques follow the Hanafi Asr (second shadow), though Kerala, coastal Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are largely Shafi'i and use the earlier standard time. The time shown above for Loni is the standard reckoning — 4:01 PM. The Hanafi time today is 5:09 PM. Follow whichever your mosque announces; you can make Hanafi the default in the settings above.
Who sets prayer times in India
India is a secular state, and no government body issues prayer timetables. In practice each mosque committee publishes its own. The widely used calculation basis across the subcontinent is the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method (Fajr 18°, Isha 18°). That is the method this page uses. State Waqf Boards, advised by the Central Waqf Council, administer mosque property rather than prayer times. Moon-sighting decisions rest with local committees and seminaries, not with a single national office.
The Asr split — and why it is regional
India's Asr time genuinely depends on where you are. Sunni Muslims across most of the subcontinent are Hanafi. Their mosques call Asr on the second-shadow rule, about 75 minutes later than the standard reckoning. The Malabar coast is different. The Mappila Muslims of Kerala, coastal Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are predominantly Shafi'i, and their timetables use the earlier, first-shadow Asr. Many Indian mosques simply print both. This page shows the standard Asr with the Hanafi time alongside, so you can match whichever your mosque follows. India's great mosques span that same breadth. Delhi's Jama Masjid was completed in 1656 under Shah Jahan. Bhopal's Taj-ul-Masajid, India's largest, was finished in 1985. Hyderabad's Mecca Masjid was begun in 1614 and completed in 1694. It takes its name from bricks made with soil brought from Mecca, set into its central arch.
