What time is Fajr in Bangalore?

Fajr in Bangalore moves through the year with the sun — earliest around midsummer, latest in midwinter. Across the 13 months this page covers it falls between 04:34 and 05:33 local time. The month tables give the exact time for every date.

What time is Maghrib in Bangalore?

Maghrib in Bangalore is sunset, so it moves with the season: across the 13 months on this page it falls between 17:50 and 18:50 local time. The month tables give the exact time for every date.

Which calculation method is used for Bangalore?

These times use the University of Islamic Science, Karachi method, which is the convention in this region. You can change the method on the prayer times page.

Why do prayer times differ between websites?

Nearly all of the difference comes from the angle each authority uses for Fajr and Isha. These times use the University of Islamic Science, Karachi method. In Bangalore that matters by a measurable amount: a site using the ISNA method gives a Fajr 12 to 14 minutes later, and one using the Egyptian method gives one 6 to 7 minutes earlier. A few minutes of variation between sources is normal; a difference of this size means a different method, not an error.

Are these times exact?

They are computed astronomically for 12.9716°, 77.5946° and are accurate to the minute at that point. The sun crosses 15° of longitude an hour, so moving 10 km east or west inside Bangalore shifts every time by about 22 seconds — one timetable therefore holds across the whole city. Local altitude has a smaller effect, on sunrise and sunset.
