Sīra Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Sīra, India

Prayer times in Sīra are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (13.74°N). We use the Karachi method, the one followed across India. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Sīra's times use the Karachi method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in India. They are drawn from Sīra's own coordinates (13.7416°N, 76.9043°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Sīra's prayer times are worked out

From Sīra, the Qibla is 288° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,012 km (2,493 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Sīra's own coordinates (13.74°N, 76.90°E), not a national average. That is why Sīra's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Sīra timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Sīra lies well west inside its Kolkata time zone. So the sun peaks about 31 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:21 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 16m near June down to 12h 36m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Sīra 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 Hiriyūr, Tumkūr and Hindupur. Each is only a few minutes off Sīra's clock.
