How are prayer times calculated for Kolkata?
Sitting at roughly 22.57°N in West Bengal, Kolkata has its own sunrise and sunset each day, so its prayer times are worked out from its exact position rather than a regional average.
Today the sun rises at 05:05 and Maghrib falls at 18:20, giving 13h 15m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 03:42) and Isha (currently 19:43) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Kolkata, the Qibla is faced towards the Kaaba in Makkah, which lies on a bearing of 278° from here, roughly to the west — a great-circle distance of about 4,983 km.
Prayer times in Kolkata are very close to those in neighbouring towns, though they differ by a minute or two with distance. Nearby you can also check Lucknow (887 km), Hyderabad (1182 km) and Delhi (1318 km).
And I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed [to you]. Indeed, I am Allah. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance.
Qur'an 20:13–14
Taking time to pray five times a day is a duty upon every Muslim and a means of remembering Allah (SWT) and our purpose in life — to worship Him. When we turn towards Makkah we join Muslims around the world who face the same direction (Qibla).
When we pray we communicate directly with Allah (SWT), and we are closest to Him in prostration (sujood).
This is one of the best moments to make du'a — so the next time you are in sujood, take a moment to raise your hands and supplicate.

Frequently asked questions
Today (26 July 2026) Fajr in Kolkata begins at 03:42 and Isha at 19:43. Sunrise is at 05:05 and Maghrib at 18:20. These update automatically each day.
From Kolkata the Qibla is approximately 278°, facing west towards the Kaaba in Makkah, about 4,983 km away.
Today's prayer times in Kolkata are Fajr at dawn, Dhuhr after midday, Asr in the afternoon, Maghrib at sunset and Isha at night — all shown in the timetable above and updated automatically every day. Sunrise (Shuruq) is included so you know when the Fajr window ends.
Prayer times are calculated from the position of the sun over Kolkata's exact coordinates. Fajr and Isha are based on the angle of twilight before sunrise and after sunset, Dhuhr begins just after the sun passes its highest point, Asr from the length of shadows, and Maghrib at sunset. The times use established, verified calculation methods.
In the UK summer the sun never dips far below the horizon, so true dawn (Fajr) arrives very early and the twilight for Isha lingers late into the night. When the twilight does not fully disappear, a recognised high-latitude method is used to estimate the times — which is why the gap between Fajr and Isha is so short in June and July.
The timetable shows the standard (majority) Asr time, which begins when an object's shadow equals its own length plus its shadow at midday. The Hanafi school holds that Asr begins later, when the shadow reaches twice the object's length. If you follow the Hanafi opinion, please refer to your local mosque's timetable for its Asr and Jamaat times.
Beginning times are the calculated start of each prayer's window, based on the sun. Jamaat (congregation) times are set separately by each mosque and are usually a little later so the community can gather. Always confirm the Jamaat times with your local masjid in Kolkata.
