How Mayiladuthurai's prayer times are worked out

From Mayiladuthurai, the Qibla is 290° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,390 km (2,728 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Mayiladuthurai's own coordinates (11.10°N, 79.66°E), not a national average. That is why Mayiladuthurai's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Mayiladuthurai timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Mayiladuthurai lies well west inside its Kolkata time zone. So the sun peaks about 20 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 11:56 AM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 04m near June down to 12h 45m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Mayiladuthurai 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 Kāraikāl, Kumbakonam and Chidambaram. Each is only a few minutes off Mayiladuthurai's clock.
