How Vīrappanchathiram's prayer times are worked out

From Vīrappanchathiram, the Qibla is 290° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,182 km (2,598 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Vīrappanchathiram's own coordinates (11.35°N, 77.71°E), not a national average. That is why Vīrappanchathiram's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Vīrappanchathiram timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Vīrappanchathiram lies well west inside its Kolkata time zone. So the sun peaks about 28 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:18 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 06m near June down to 12h 43m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Vīrappanchathiram 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 Erode, Periya Semūr and Kāsipālaiyam. Each is only a few minutes off Vīrappanchathiram's clock.
