How prayer times vary across India
On Thursday, 29 October 2026, Fajr begins earliest in Kolkata (4:24 AM) and latest in Ahmedabad (5:27 AM), a spread of 63 minutes on the clock. Maghrib, when the fast is opened in Ramadan, runs from 5:01 PM in Kolkata to 6:07 PM in Mumbai. All of these cities share one time zone, so the differences come only from where each city lies.
Calculation method used in India
Mosques across India commonly publish timetables based on the Karachi convention (18° Fajr and Isha), and the Hanafi Asr time is the most widely followed, although Shafi communities (for example in Kerala) use the earlier Asr.
- Method: University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi, with Fajr at 18° and Isha at 18°.
- Asr: Hanafi. Asr begins when an object's shadow is twice its length (plus its noon shadow).
- How every method works is explained on our sources and methods page.

Frequently asked questions
Which prayer time method is used in India?
Mosques across India commonly publish timetables based on the Karachi convention (18° Fajr and Isha), and the Hanafi Asr time is the most widely followed, although Shafi communities (for example in Kerala) use the earlier Asr. This page and every city page use the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method (Fajr 18°, Isha 18°) with the Hanafi Asr time by default. You can change both on any city page.
Why are prayer times different across India?
Prayer times follow the sun, so they depend on each city's latitude and longitude. Today Fajr is earliest in Kolkata and latest in Ahmedabad by the clock, and Maghrib ranges from 5:01 PM in Kolkata to 6:07 PM in Mumbai.
When does Ramadan 2027 start in India?
On the Umm al-Qura calendar, Ramadan 1448 begins on Monday, 8 February 2027. In India the start is announced after local moon sighting and is often one day later.
