How Nagapattinam's prayer times are worked out

From Nagapattinam, the Qibla is 291° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,422 km (2,748 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Nagapattinam's own coordinates (10.76°N, 79.84°E), not a national average. That is why Nagapattinam's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Nagapattinam timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Nagapattinam lies well west inside its Kolkata time zone. So the sun peaks about 19 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:09 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 03m near June down to 12h 46m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Nagapattinam 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, Thiruvarur and Mayiladuthurai. Each is only a few minutes off Nagapattinam's clock.
