Prayer Times in Chakai, India

About the times on this page

From Chakai, the qibla points west — a bearing of about 274° on a compass. Makkah lies some 4,865 kilometres away, and the times on this page are calculated for this city specifically rather than for the country as a whole.

Fasting hours

Suhoor closes at 4:27 am in Chakai, with iftar at 4:59 pm. Roughly 12 hours and 32 minutes, going by today's figures. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.

The calculation behind them

Calculations come from Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Methods differ mainly over Fajr and Isha, because each authority settles on a slightly different angle of the sun below the horizon — a few minutes either way is normal. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. Where your local mosque differs, follow the mosque — that is the timetable the congregation keeps.

Clock time and solar time

The sun reaches its high point roughly 37 minutes before noon here. It explains the 11:23 am Dhuhr — the timezone boundary is drawn some way from this city's own meridian. Nothing is wrong with the calculation; timezones are political lines, and the sun does not consult them.

Chakai today, prayer by prayer

The day's first prayer, Fajr, falls at 4:27 am. The window stays open until sunrise, 5:47 am. Next is Dhuhr at 11:23 am, then Asr in the afternoon at 3:23 pm. The sun goes down at Maghrib, 4:59 pm, and the day ends with Isha at 6:29 pm. That gives Chakai roughly 11 hours and 12 minutes of daylight today.

The yearly swing

The seasons show here without dominating. Summer in Chakai brings earlier Fajr times and a later Isha; winter pulls everything inward, and Maghrib can arrive while the afternoon still feels unfinished. Expect an hour or two of movement between the extremes.

Elsewhere in India

India has 135 other cities covered on this site. If you are travelling within the country, use the page for where you actually are; the difference is small but real.

The last third of the night

Chakai gets roughly 9 hours and 58 minutes of night between the last prayer and the first. 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.
