Prayer Times in Coimbatore, India

The prayer day in Coimbatore

Fajr 5:00 am, Maghrib 5:58 pm, Isha 7:28 pm — that is the shape of today in Coimbatore. Each of them moves slightly from one day to the next; the page rebuilds daily, so what you see is current.

The last third of the night

From Isha to Fajr is around 9 hours and 32 minutes at the moment. The final third of the night carries particular weight in the tradition, and it is measured from Isha to Fajr rather than by the clock.

From Fajr to Isha

It starts in the dark, with Fajr at 5:00 am. The window stays open until sunrise, 6:13 am. Next is Dhuhr at 12:06 pm, then Asr in the afternoon at 4:21 pm. Sunset brings Maghrib at 5:58 pm; Isha is the last, at 7:28 pm. That is some 11 hours and 45 minutes between the sun coming up and going down.

The calculation behind them

Calculations come from Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib are largely settled across methods; Fajr and Isha are where authorities part company. Asr is Hanafi on this page, so expect it later than a Shafi timetable would show. A small gap between this page and your nearest masjid is nothing to worry about; go with theirs.

Suhoor and iftar in Coimbatore

Suhoor ends at Fajr — 5:00 am today — and the fast breaks at Maghrib, 5:58 pm. Around 12 hours and 58 minutes without food or water today. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.

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 yearly swing

Coimbatore is close enough to the equator that the seasons barely register in the prayer times. Longest day and shortest day differ by very little, and Ramadan feels much the same whichever month it lands in.
