About these times
The times above are calculated for Dhaka using the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method. They change a little each day, so this page reads today's times when you open it.
Fajr begins at dawn and Sunrise ends the Fajr window. Dhuhr is after the sun passes its highest point, Asr is in the afternoon, Maghrib is at sunset, and Isha begins when the evening twilight ends.
Local mosques may announce slightly different times. If your mosque publishes its own timetable, follow it.
Dhaka in numbers
Dhaka is in Bangladesh, at 23.81°N, 90.41°E, in the Asia/Dhaka time zone (UTC+06:00). The times on this page follow the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method, the one used or most common for this region.
Day length in Dhaka runs from about 10 h 32 min on the shortest day of the year (around 21 December) to about 13 h 28 min on the longest (around 21 June), a difference of roughly 2 h 56 min. That is why the time between Fajr and Maghrib moves so much through the year, and why a fast in Ramadan is longer or shorter depending on the season in which Ramadan falls.
Solar noon in Dhaka falls at about 11:58 local standard time on average, and Dhuhr begins shortly after it. The closest cities on this site are Lahore (1,796 km, solar noon 64 min later there), George Town (2,305 km, solar noon 40 min earlier there), Karachi (2,372 km, solar noon 94 min later there). The minutes shown compare when the sun is at its highest. The further east a place is, the earlier the sun peaks and the earlier its prayers begin; if two cities are in different time zones, their clocks differ by whole hours on top of that.
