Why Timings Differ Between Cities
India spans multiple longitudes, so Fajr occurs earlier in eastern locations and later in the west. Differences of 30โ40 minutes between cities are common. Calculation methodsโsuch as varying astronomical twilight anglesโcan also produce slight shifts in listed times.
Staying on Track
- Set an alarm 10โ15 minutes before Fajr.
- Use at least two independent prayer time sources.
- Check your local mosque for adjustments specific to your community.
