Prayer Times in Niramaruthūr, India

Niramaruthūr, hour by hour

From Niramaruthūr, the qibla points west-north-west — a bearing of about 292° on a compass. That is roughly 4,014 kilometres in a straight line. The times themselves are worked out from the city's exact position.

The yearly swing

Niramaruthūr 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.

The night in between

Between Isha at 7:33 pm and Fajr at 5:04 am there are about 9 hours and 31 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.

The fasting day in Niramaruthūr

Suhoor ends at Fajr — 5:04 am today — and the fast breaks at Maghrib, 6:03 pm. Around 12 hours and 59 minutes without food or water today. The monthly table further down shows the window widening or narrowing day by day, which helps when planning meals a week ahead.

The calculation behind them

The underlying method is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib are largely settled across methods; Fajr and Isha are where authorities part company. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. A small gap between this page and your nearest masjid is nothing to worry about; go with theirs.

Niramaruthūr today, prayer by prayer

It starts in the dark, with Fajr at 5:04 am. By 6:17 am the sun is up and Fajr's time has passed. Dhuhr 12:10 pm, Asr 4:26 pm — the two that carry the middle of the day. Sunset brings Maghrib at 6:03 pm; Isha is the last, at 7:33 pm. That is some 11 hours and 46 minutes between the sun coming up and going down.
