Prayer Times in Bhopal — 2026

Accurate prayer times for Bhopal on Monday, 31 August 2026: Fajr 04:45, Shuruq 06:02, Dhuhr 12:21, Asr 16:51, Maghrib 18:40, Isha 19:56. 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.

Bhopal is listed under Madhya Pradesh in India. The engine uses 23.2599 latitude and 77.4126 longitude with IANA zone Asia/Kolkata. A mosque a few kilometres away will usually match these times to the minute; a different city, even in the same metro area, can drift by two to five minutes because longitude shifts solar noon. The urban area is on the order of 1.8 million people.

Bhopal 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 06:02 and Maghrib is at 18:40. Dhuhr (12:21) tracks astronomical noon plus a small equation-of-time correction, which is why a printed table copied from another country will not match Bhopal.

The University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method is the starting point on this Bhopal page. Fajr and Isha are defined by solar depression angles (or, for Umm al-Qura, a Maghrib-plus-minutes rule). 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.

Bhopal (India) has both long-established and newer Muslim communities. Jumu'ah times are set by each mosque and are not computed here — only the five daily prayers and sunrise.

Qibla from Bhopal is 274.5° from true north (W), about 3,861 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 Jaipur (438 km), prayer times in Ahmedabad (496 km), prayer times in Lucknow (535 km), prayer times in Delhi (606 km), prayer times in Pune (643 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 Bhopal is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
