About Ganja
Ganja is Azerbaijan's second-largest city and one of its oldest centres of trade and culture, set on the plains of the country's west at an elevation of around 408 metres. Long a hub of commerce and learning, the city was the seat of the Ganja Khanate until 1804 and later passed to the Russian Empire under the 1813 Treaty of Gulistan, before becoming part of the Azerbaijan SSR and, since 1991, the independent Republic of Azerbaijan. Today it remains a regional centre with a population of roughly 335,600. For the city's Muslim community, the five daily prayers structure the rhythm of the day, and the times shift gradually through the year with the seasons.

Because Ganja lies at roughly 41 degrees north, there is a clear seasonal swing: summer brings long days with an early Fajr and a late Isha, while winter days are short, with later sunrise and earlier sunset compressing the daytime prayers.
