Prayer times for Ahmedabad
These namaz timings are calculated for Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, at 23.0225° N, 72.5714° E. Ahmedabad keeps India Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30; time zone Asia/Kolkata), one clock for the whole country with no daylight saving. Times are worked out on your phone for each date with the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method (Fajr and Isha at 18° below the horizon) and Hanafi Asr, the school followed by most Muslims in India.
Because Ahmedabad lies 9.9° west of the 82.5° E meridian on which IST is based, the sun crosses the local meridian about 40 minutes later by the clock than it does on that meridian, so Zuhr here averages about 12:40 PM across the year. During 2027, Fajr is earliest around 6 June (4:27 AM) and latest around 13 January (6:04 AM), while Maghrib moves between 5:53 PM in November and 7:29 PM in June. The longest day of fasting, from Fajr to Maghrib, is about 15 h 00 min in June and the shortest about 12 h 03 min in December. The seasons move the times noticeably, but less than in the far north.
Ahmedabad was founded in 1411 by Sultan Ahmad Shah. The Jama Masjid near Manek Chowk dates from his era, and the Sidi Saiyyed Mosque is famous for its carved stone jali windows. For jama'at, follow your local masjid's timetable.
