How Vasco da Gama's prayer times are worked out

From Vasco da Gama, the Qibla is 286° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,641 km (2,262 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Vasco da Gama's own coordinates (15.40°N, 73.82°E), not a national average. That is why Vasco da Gama's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Vasco da Gama timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Vasco da Gama lies well west inside its Kolkata time zone. So the sun peaks about 43 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:33 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 23m near June down to 12h 30m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Vasco da Gama 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 Mormugao, Panjim and Madgaon. Each is only a few minutes off Vasco da Gama's clock.
