Prayer times in Gampaha — common questions

What time is Fajr in Gampaha today?

Fajr in Gampaha begins at 04:51 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 Gampaha?

From Gampaha, the Qibla is 294.6° from true north — roughly WNW. 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 Gampaha?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Sri Lanka. 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.

Are these times accurate for a place the size of Gampaha?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Gampaha'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.

How far is Gampaha from Makkah?

Gampaha lies approximately 4595 km from the Kaaba in Makkah, measured as a great circle across the Earth's surface. That distance is what determines the Qibla bearing shown above.
