Time & prayer in Kandy
Local time in Kandy falls within the Asia/Colombo zone. The clock and date at the top of this page update live to this timezone, so the readings stay accurate wherever you are.
Sitting at a latitude of about 7.3° in the northern hemisphere, Kandy's day length stays remarkably steady all year, with only small differences between summer and winter. That is why its sunrise, sunset and day-length figures change from month to month, and why prayer times here follow the position of the sun rather than a fixed clock.
The prayer times shown for Kandy are calculated using the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi. The five daily prayers track the sun, so each one drifts a little earlier or later as the seasons turn. For the full picture you can open the monthly timetable, the live prayer clock, or the Qibla direction for Kandy from the tools on this site.
