About Rajshahi
Rajshahi sits on the north bank of the Padma River in north-western Bangladesh, near the country's border with India, and serves as the administrative seat of both Rajshahi District and Rajshahi Division. Known as the largest city of North Bengal, it is a leading urban, commercial and educational centre with a city population of around 448,000 that rises toward one million across its wider urban agglomeration, taking in the neighbouring satellite towns of Nowhata and Katakhali. For the city's Muslim residents and visitors, this page provides daily prayer times aligned to the local sky over Rajshahi.
Prayer Times in Rajshahi
Prayer times for Rajshahi are calculated for its position at roughly 24.4 degrees north latitude on the north bank of the Padma River. The city observes Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6) all year, with no daylight saving adjustment, so the daily schedule shifts only with the natural movement of the sun. At this subtropical latitude there is a moderate seasonal swing: summer days are noticeably longer, pushing Fajr earlier and Isha later, while winter days are shorter and bring the prayer windows closer together. The times shown here follow the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method, a standard widely used across the subcontinent. When facing the qibla for prayer, the direction toward the Kaaba in Makkah from Rajshahi is approximately 276 degrees, almost due west.
Frequently Asked Questions About Prayer Times in Rajshahi
What method is used to calculate prayer times in Rajshahi?
The prayer times on this page are calculated using the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method, which is commonly applied across Bangladesh and the wider subcontinent. It uses set solar angles to determine the start of Fajr and Isha, and the resulting times are computed for Rajshahi's own latitude and longitude.
Which direction is the qibla from Rajshahi?
From Rajshahi the qibla, the direction of the Kaaba in Makkah, lies at a bearing of about 276 degrees, which is almost due west and only slightly north of west. You can use a compass or a qibla-finding app to align with this direction before prayer.
Do prayer times in Rajshahi change with the seasons?
Yes. Rajshahi lies at roughly 24 degrees north, so it has a moderate seasonal variation. In summer the days are longer, meaning Fajr falls earlier and Isha later, while in winter the days are shorter and the prayers sit closer together. Because Bangladesh does not observe daylight saving time, these shifts follow the natural daylight rather than any clock change, so it is worth checking the current daily times.
