Prayer Times in Bhopāl, India

What these times mean for Bhopāl

Today in Bhopāl, Fajr is at 5:05 am and the day closes with Isha at 7:14 pm. They are not fixed — the sun moves them a little every day, and the page keeps up on its own.

The direction of prayer

The qibla from here runs west, a bearing of about 274°. That puts the Kaaba roughly 3,861 km — 2,399 miles — from here.

The fasting day in Bhopāl

The fasting day here runs 5:05 am to 5:44 pm: suhoor closes at the first, iftar comes at the second. Today it works out to some 12 hours and 39 minutes. The monthly table further down shows the window widening or narrowing day by day, which helps when planning meals a week ahead.

How the times are worked out

The underlying method is 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.

Bhopāl today, prayer by prayer

Fajr is at 5:05 am — early, and in darkness. The window stays open until sunrise, 6:24 am. Next is Dhuhr at 12:04 pm, then Asr in the afternoon at 4:08 pm. Maghrib comes with sunset at 5:44 pm, and Isha closes the day at 7:14 pm. Around 11 hours and 20 minutes of daylight, all told.

Through the year

Across the year the Bhopāl 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.

A few things worth knowing

No need to bookmark a timetable: the page recalculates for Bhopāl daily.
