Prayer Times in Akālgarh, India

Prayer times in Akālgarh

Sunrise 6:41 am, sunset 5:39 pm — about 10 hours and 58 minutes of daylight in Akālgarh today. Prayer times are anchored to the sun rather than the clock, so as that figure grows and shrinks across the year, every time below moves with it.

The direction of prayer

The qibla from here runs west, a bearing of about 263°. The distance works out to about 3,728 kilometres, or 2,316 miles. Worth remembering that a phone compass points to magnetic north, which can sit several degrees off true north depending on where you are.

How much the times move

Across the year the Akālgarh timetable shifts by an hour or two at each end — long summer evenings push Isha back, short winter days crowd Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib together.

Ramadan timings

The fasting day here runs 5:17 am to 5:39 pm: suhoor closes at the first, iftar comes at the second. Today it works out to some 12 hours and 22 minutes. The full month is listed below if you want to see where the fast is heading.

A walk through today's times

The day's first prayer, Fajr, falls at 5:17 am. You have until 6:41 am, when the sun comes up. Dhuhr follows at 12:10 pm once the sun has tipped past its highest point, and Asr at 4:02 pm. Maghrib comes with sunset at 5:39 pm, and Isha closes the day at 7:09 pm. Around 10 hours and 58 minutes of daylight, all told.

If you are travelling

135 other cities in India are listed on this site, each with its own calculated timetable. If you are travelling within the country, use the page for where you actually are; the difference is small but real.

The night in between

Between Isha at 7:09 pm and Fajr at 5:17 am there are about 10 hours and 8 minutes. If you pray tahajjud, the final third of that stretch is the one to aim for; counting backwards from Fajr is the easier way to locate it.

How the times are worked out

These times follow Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Where two calculations disagree it is nearly always Fajr or Isha: those depend on twilight, and twilight is a judgement call. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. Local practice wins over any website, this one included.
