Prayer Times in Srinagar — May 2025

Reading the May 2025 table

If you are in Srinagar today (Monday, 31 August 2026), the five daily prayers fall at 04:36 (Fajr), 12:31 (Dhuhr), 17:08 (Asr), 18:59 (Maghrib) and 20:25 (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.

Srinagar is listed under Jammu and Kashmir in India. The engine uses 34.0837 latitude and 74.7973 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 1.2 million people.

For the latitude of Srinagar, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:03 and Maghrib is 18:59. Dhuhr (12:31) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in India, and why this page is calculated from Srinagar’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

Calculation for Srinagar 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.

Srinagar (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 Srinagar is 256.8° from true north (WSW), about 3,695 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 Delhi (637 km), prayer times in Jaipur (803 km), prayer times in Lucknow (997 km), prayer times in Bhopal (1230 km), prayer times in Ahmedabad (1249 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 Srinagar is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
