How Zerakpur's prayer times are worked out

From Zerakpur, the Qibla is 263° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,817 km (2,372 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Zerakpur's own coordinates (30.66°N, 76.82°E), not a national average. That is why Zerakpur's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Zerakpur timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Zerakpur 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 15h 46m near June down to 11h 36m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Zerakpur 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 Panchkula, Chandigarh and Mohali. Each is only a few minutes off Zerakpur's clock.
