Prayer Times in Bengaluru — March 2027

Reading the March 2027 table

If you are in Bengaluru today (Monday, 31 August 2026), the five daily prayers fall at 04:57 (Fajr), 12:20 (Dhuhr), 16:42 (Asr), 18:32 (Maghrib) and 19:43 (Isha). Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Asia/Kolkata timezone (UTC+5:30 · IST), the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi convention and Hanafi (double-shadow) Asr.

Coordinates for Bengaluru: 12.9716, 77.5946. Time zone Asia/Kolkata (UTC+5:30 · IST) already includes daylight saving when the zone observes it, so you do not add or subtract an hour by hand in August. The urban area is on the order of 8.4 million people.

Bengaluru is close enough to the tropics that twilight angles are usually reached every night of the year. High-latitude patches are rarely needed. In August 2026 the sun rises at 06:09 and Maghrib is at 18:32. Dhuhr (12:20) tracks astronomical noon plus a small equation-of-time correction, which is why a printed table copied from another country will not match Bengaluru.

Calculation for Bengaluru starts from University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi. Changing the method moves Fajr and Isha by several minutes; changing Asr madhhab moves only Asr. Asr is shown in the Hanafi manner (shadow factor 2), which is the usual printed convention in much of South and Central Asia. Subcontinental pocket calendars almost always use Karachi angles with Hanafi Asr. Confirm against the local mosque in Ramadan, when some boards add a precaution.

Travellers through Bengaluru should remember that airport and hotel clocks follow civil time, which this timetable already uses. Maghrib is tied to sunset at the city’s coordinates, not to the time a flight lands.

Qibla from Bengaluru is 288.5° from true north (WNW), about 4,109 km from the Kaaba in Makkah. A phone compass is only as good as its calibration; once you have identified a wall that faces that bearing, you can mark it and stop re-measuring every day. Magnetic declination is not applied on this page — the figure is geographic, which is what a qibla diagram expects.

Nearby timetables: prayer times in Kozhikode (274 km), prayer times in Chennai (290 km), prayer times in Kochi (368 km), prayer times in Hyderabad (500 km), prayer times in Pune (735 km). Neighbouring cities share almost the same latitude, so Fajr and Isha usually differ by one to four minutes — mostly longitude and the minute the time zone snaps to.

This page is an astronomical estimate, not a fatwa and not a substitute for the announcement in your local masjid. Some congregations publish a one- to three-minute precaution. If your mosque uses a different Fajr angle, switch the method above or apply a manual minute offset. For personal prayer, a coordinate-based calculation for Bengaluru is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
