Chittagong, officially Chattogram, is the second-largest city in Bangladesh after Dhaka and the largest city in the Greater Chittagong region.

Often described as the business capital of Bangladesh, Chittagong is anchored by the Port of Chittagong, the busiest port in the country and on the Bay of Bengal.

Prayer Times in Chittagong
Chittagong keeps Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6) all year with no daylight saving, so prayer times shift only with the seasons rather than with any clock change. At about 22°N the seasonal swing is moderate: longer summer days push Fajr earlier and Isha later, while shorter winter days bring Maghrib to the late afternoon and shorten the gap between prayers. Times on this page are calculated with the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method, which is commonly used across Bangladesh.
Ramadan in Chittagong
During Ramadan, Chittagong's Muslim community observes the fast from the pre-dawn meal of Suhoor, which ends at Fajr, until the fast is broken at Iftar with the call to Maghrib. Because the city stays on Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6) year-round with no daylight saving, the daily fasting window changes only with the natural lengthening or shortening of the day rather than with any clock adjustment.
The length of the fasting day depends on where Ramadan falls in the seasonal cycle. When Ramadan occurs in the longer days around summer, Suhoor comes earlier and the fast runs longer; when it falls in the shorter days of winter, the window between Fajr and Maghrib is noticeably shorter. Checking the daily Fajr and Maghrib times on this page helps families in Chittagong plan Suhoor and Iftar accurately throughout the month.
