Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha: Prayer times in Puthia

• Longest day: June 21, 13 h 39 min, from sunrise at 05:17 to sunset at 18:55.

• Sunrise and sunset mark the moment the Sun’s upper edge touches a level horizon, with the air’s usual bending of light allowed for. Hills, buildings and altitude move what you see by a few minutes.
• Civil, nautical and astronomical twilight end when the Sun is 6°, 12° and 18° below the horizon. Golden hour here is the photographers’ usual definition: the Sun less than 6° above it.
• Worked out when the page loads from NOAA’s solar equations, for 24.4° N, 88.8° E, and accurate to about a minute.
