Prayer Times in New Delhi Today
Times for New Delhi follow the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi. Calculation authorities differ on how far below the horizon the sun must sit for Fajr to begin and Isha to end, which is the main reason published times vary between sources. India conventionally follows this authority, and it can be changed from the controls on this page if your mosque follows another.
New Delhi sits at 28.6° north, where day length varies by around two hours between June and December. Fajr comes noticeably earlier in summer and Isha noticeably later, so the gap between them narrows in the long months.
Asr in New Delhi is shown by the Hanafi reckoning, which marks its start when an object's shadow reaches twice its own length. The Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools use once its length, which falls roughly an hour earlier depending on the season. Both are long-established positions; the juristic school can be switched on this page.
These times are computed for 28.6358°N, 77.2245°E in the Asia/Kolkata timezone. Because the calculation is tied to coordinates rather than to a city boundary, mosques a few kilometres away may publish times a minute or two apart, and many add a small precautionary margin of their own.
