How Mārkāpur's prayer times are worked out

From Mārkāpur, the Qibla is 285° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,194 km (2,606 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Mārkāpur's own coordinates (15.74°N, 79.27°E), not a national average. That is why Mārkāpur's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Mārkāpur timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Mārkāpur lies well west inside its Kolkata time zone. So the sun peaks about 21 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:11 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 25m near June down to 12h 29m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Mārkāpur 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 Vinukonda, Mācherla and Ongole. Each is only a few minutes off Mārkāpur's clock.
