Surakarta's times use the Kemenag method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Indonesia. They are drawn from Surakarta's own coordinates (7.5561°S, 110.8317°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Surakarta's prayer times are worked out

From Surakarta, the Qibla is 295° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 8,382 km (5,209 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Surakarta's own coordinates (7.56°S, 110.83°E), not a national average. That is why Surakarta's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Surakarta sits just 7.56°S of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Kemenag method, the longest daily fast is about 14h 00m. The shortest is about 13h 05m. That is a swing of only 0h 55m between December and June. Whenever Ramadan falls, fasting hours here stay much the same — something cities farther from the equator never see.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Surakarta come from Kementerian Agama, Indonesia's Ministry of Religious Affairs. The Kemenag method sets Fajr when the sun is 20° 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 Grogol, Baki and Kartasura. Each is only a few minutes off Surakarta's clock.
