How Rāniganj's prayer times are worked out

From Rāniganj, the Qibla is 283° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,069 km (2,528 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Rāniganj's own coordinates (17.43°N, 78.49°E), not a national average. That is why Rāniganj's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Rāniganj timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Rāniganj lies well west inside its Kolkata time zone. So the sun peaks about 25 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:14 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 32m near June down to 12h 23m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Rāniganj 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 Malkajgiri, Hyderabad and Uppal Kalan. Each is only a few minutes off Rāniganj's clock.
