Bagan prayer times overview
The Bagan prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Bagan prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 4 часа ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Bagan geographic location is 54.0995°N, 77.6669°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.
Bagan prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
Today in Bagan the sun rises at 06:12, while Maghrib begins at 21:37. Daylight lasts 15 часов 25 минут. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Bagan 6 часов 18 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 21:37, while Fajr begins at 03:55. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Bagan the daylight length increases: this is especially noticeable for the early Fajr and late Maghrib.
If you plan your day around the Bagan prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 03:55 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 21:37 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:46 the start of the night prayer.
Prayer times for Bagan are determined according to the SAM RF method. The Hanafi madhhab is applied for Asr, while the calculation is based on the city's coordinates and the current date.

Questions about prayer times in Bagan
Prayer times are determined by the sun's altitude above the horizon, which is unique for every geographic point. The calculation is affected by latitude, longitude and the established time zone. For this reason, even cities located in the same region have different values for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. The more a city is shifted to the north or south, the more the daylight length, and with it the prayer moments, differ.
We update the schedule in Bagan daily. The sun does not rise at the same time from day to day: the daylight length gradually increases from winter to summer and shortens from summer to winter. For this reason the Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times shift slightly every day. The most noticeable changes occur in spring and autumn, so a daily check with the schedule is the best practice.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (03:55) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:37): the fast can be broken as soon as the sun sets below the horizon. Since prayer times shift daily during Ramadan, we recommend checking the schedule daily so as not to be off even by a minute.
It is better not to do this. Prayer times are calculated based on exact geographic coordinates, and even a relatively small distance between localities can shift the prayer moments by several minutes. The sunrise and sunset to which Fajr and Maghrib are tied occur at their own time at every point. Therefore, for believers in Bagan it is more correct to rely on a separate schedule calculated according to this city's coordinates specifically, especially when determining suhur and iftar during Ramadan.
