Mettur's times use the Karachi method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in India. They are drawn from Mettur's own coordinates (11.7880°N, 77.8008°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Mettur's prayer times are worked out

From Mettur, the Qibla is 290° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,174 km (2,594 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Mettur's own coordinates (11.79°N, 77.80°E), not a national average. That is why Mettur's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Mettur timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Mettur lies well west inside its Kolkata time zone. So the sun peaks about 27 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:17 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 08m near June down to 12h 42m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Mettur 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 Idappadi, Kumarapalayam and Salem. Each is only a few minutes off Mettur's clock.
