Prayer times for Delhi
These namaz timings are calculated for Delhi, Delhi, India, at 28.6139° N, 77.2090° E. Delhi 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 Delhi lies 5.3° west of the 82.5° E meridian on which IST is based, the sun crosses the local meridian about 21 minutes later by the clock than it does on that meridian, so Zuhr here averages about 12:21 PM across the year. During 2027, Fajr is earliest around 8 June (3:49 AM) and latest around 9 January (5:52 AM), while Maghrib moves between 5:24 PM in November and 7:23 PM in June. The longest day of fasting, from Fajr to Maghrib, is about 15 h 33 min in June and the shortest about 11 h 43 min in December. The seasons move the times noticeably, but less than in the far north.
Delhi's old city is crowned by the Jama Masjid, built in the reign of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan and one of the largest mosques in India. For jama'at, follow your local masjid's timetable.
