How Port Blair's prayer times are worked out

From Port Blair, the Qibla is 288° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 5,718 km (3,553 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Port Blair's own coordinates (11.67°N, 92.75°E), not a national average. That is why Port Blair's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Port Blair timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Port Blair lies well east inside its Kolkata time zone. So the sun peaks about 32 minutes before clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 11:04 AM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 07m near June down to 12h 42m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Port Blair 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 Banda Aceh, Lhokseumawe and Meulaboh. Each is only a few minutes off Port Blair's clock.
