Prayer Times in Tāzhakudi, India

Prayer times in Tāzhakudi

Sunrise 6:08 am, sunset 5:59 pm — about 11 hours and 51 minutes of daylight in Tāzhakudi today. Prayer times are anchored to the sun rather than the clock, so as that figure grows and shrinks across the year, every time below moves with it.

Today's timetable

It starts in the dark, with Fajr at 4:55 am. The sun appears at 6:08 am, which ends the Fajr period. After the sun peaks, Dhuhr is prayed at 12:04 pm, and Asr at 4:21 pm. Maghrib is prayed at 5:59 pm as the light goes, then Isha at 7:29 pm. Sunrise to sunset, today runs about 11 hours and 51 minutes.

The last third of the night

Tāzhakudi gets roughly 9 hours and 26 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.

Why your mosque may differ slightly

Calculations come from Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. The disagreement between methods lives almost entirely in Fajr and Isha, where the sun is below the horizon and the chosen angle decides the time. Asr here follows the Hanafi reckoning, which places it noticeably later in the afternoon than the other schools would. If the mosque down the road announces something a few minutes different, pray with the mosque.

Suhoor and iftar in Tāzhakudi

Stop eating by 4:55 am; break the fast at 5:59 pm. That is about 13 hours and 4 minutes on today's times. The full month is listed below if you want to see where the fast is heading.

Through the year

Near the equator the timetable is remarkably stable. Tāzhakudi sees close to twelve hours of daylight in every month, so Fajr and Maghrib move by minutes rather than hours across the year.

Lining up with the Kaaba

Turn west-north-west, about 294°, for the qibla. That puts the Kaaba roughly 4,287 km — 2,664 miles — from here.
