- —Asia/Dhaka
Dhaka does not change its clocks; times stay on Asia/Dhaka all year. How times are calculated
Dhaka, the Sun and the clock
Dhaka is the capital, home to about 10,000,000 people. Dhaka lies almost on the 90° E meridian that its time zone is based on, so the Sun is highest close to 12:00 on the clock, around 11:58 on average. Dhuhr begins just after that moment.
The Sun never stands straight overhead in Dhaka: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 90° above the horizon in June and only 43° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Dhaka range from 10h 40m in December to 13h 36m in June, a difference of 2h 56m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them.
Maghrib time Dhaka compared with nearby cities
Prayer times shift with longitude: about 4 minutes for every degree east or west. Here is how today's Fajr and Maghrib in nearby places compare with Dhaka, calculated with the same method.

The Baitul Mukarram National Mosque stands on Topkhana Road in Paltan, in the middle of Dhaka, and is the national mosque of Bangladesh. Work began on 27 January 1960, the first prayers were held on Friday, 25 January 1963, and the mosque was completed in 1968. The architect was Abdulhusein M. Thariani, and the large cube of the building was modelled on the Kaaba in Mecca, so it has no dome. It holds more than 42,000 worshippers. In 1975 the government entrusted the mosque to the Islamic Foundation Bangladesh, and an extension was built in 2008 with a donation from the Saudi Arabian government. The complex also contains shops, offices, libraries and parking areas.
Dhaka is the capital of a country that is 91.04% Muslim according to the 2022 census, and its mosques are the daily framework of life. Eid prayers at the Baitul Mukarram are held in several successive jamaats: a 2024 report announced five. Most Muslims in Bangladesh are Sunni and follow the Hanafi school, and the Ministry of Religious Affairs and the Islamic Foundation regulate matters such as Hajj and zakat.
For prayer times, Dhaka lies at 23.8 degrees north and Bangladesh keeps one time zone, Bangladesh Standard Time, UTC+6. On this site's calculation the fast from Fajr to Maghrib in Dhaka lasts about 15 hours on 21 June and 12 hours on 21 December. Mosques overwhelmingly use the Karachi angles of 18 degrees and the Hanafi Asr, and the start of Ramadan and Eid is announced after a national crescent-sighting meeting; in 2026 Bangladesh and India both marked the first day of Ramadan on 19 February. Congregation times (jamaat) are set by each mosque and differ from the start times shown on this site.
