Prayer times in Dhankutā — common questions
What time is Fajr in Dhankutā today?
Fajr in Dhankutā begins at 03:56 AM today. Fajr starts at true dawn, when the sun reaches a set angle below the horizon, and ends at sunrise — so this time shifts by a minute or two each day as the season changes.
Which direction is the Qibla from Dhankutā?
From Dhankutā, the Qibla is 273.3° from true north — roughly W. Remember that a phone compass points to magnetic north, so you may need to correct for local magnetic declination.
Which calculation method is used for Dhankutā?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Nepal. If your mosque follows a different authority, its Fajr and Isha may differ by several minutes — the calculation is identical, only the twilight angle changes.
How much does daylight change through the year in Dhankutā?
Day length in Dhankutā ranges from about 10.4 hours at midwinter to 13.8 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 3.4 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
Are these times accurate for a place the size of Dhankutā?
Yes. Prayer times are computed from Dhankutā's own coordinates, not borrowed from a larger neighbouring city, so the astronomy is exactly as accurate as it is for a capital. The only caveat is that we use a single reference point for the settlement.
