How Thoothukudi's prayer times are worked out

From Thoothukudi, the Qibla is 293° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,332 km (2,692 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Thoothukudi's own coordinates (8.77°N, 78.13°E), not a national average. That is why Thoothukudi's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Thoothukudi sits just 8.77°N of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Karachi method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 55m. The shortest is about 12h 52m. That is a swing of only 1h 03m between June and December. Whenever Ramadan falls, fasting hours here stay much the same — something cities farther from the equator never see.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Thoothukudi 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 Tirunelveli, Kovilpatti and Sankarankovil. Each is only a few minutes off Thoothukudi's clock.
