Prayer Times in Payyanam, India

Praying in Payyanam

How the day runs in Payyanam

Fajr opens the day at 5:02 am, well before first light. You have until 6:16 am, when the sun comes up. Dhuhr 12:09 pm, Asr 4:24 pm — the two that carry the middle of the day. Maghrib comes with sunset at 6:02 pm, and Isha closes the day at 7:32 pm. Around 11 hours and 46 minutes of daylight, all told.

Other India timetables

There are 135 more India cities here, and each has its own times rather than sharing Payyanam's. The list under the timetable below will take you to any of them.

Lining up with the Kaaba

The qibla from here runs west-north-west, a bearing of about 292°. That puts the Kaaba roughly 4,063 km — 2,525 miles — from here. Compass apps usually read magnetic north rather than true north, so allow a few degrees of local declination if you are setting a prayer mat precisely.

How much the times move

There is not much of a yearly swing here. Daylight hovers around twelve hours all year in Payyanam, keeping the whole timetable within a narrow band.

For tahajjud

Payyanam gets roughly 9 hours and 30 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.

Method and madhab

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.

If you are fasting

The fasting day here runs 5:02 am to 6:02 pm: suhoor closes at the first, iftar comes at the second. Today it works out to some 13 hours. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.
