Prayer times for Lucknow
These namaz timings are calculated for Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India, at 26.8467° N, 80.9462° E. Lucknow 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 Lucknow lies 1.6° west of the 82.5° E meridian on which IST is based, the sun crosses the local meridian about 6 minutes later by the clock than it does on that meridian, so Zuhr here averages about 12:06 PM across the year. During 2027, Fajr is earliest around 6 June (3:41 AM) and latest around 10 January (5:35 AM), while Maghrib moves between 5:13 PM in November and 7:04 PM in June. The longest day of fasting, from Fajr to Maghrib, is about 15 h 22 min in June and the shortest about 11 h 50 min in December. The seasons move the times noticeably, but less than in the far north.
