Elista prayer times overview
The Elista page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Elista prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
For Elista the coordinates 46.3083°N and 44.2558°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
Today in Elista 14 часов 37 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 04:50, while the evening prayer begins at 19:27. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
The night interval in Elista begins after Maghrib at 19:27 and lasts until Fajr at 03:01. Its duration is 7 часов 34 минуты. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Elista the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
If you plan your day around the Elista prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 03:01 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 19:27 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 21:07 the start of the night prayer.
Prayer times for Elista 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 Elista
Each city has its own geographic coordinates, and it is precisely by them that sunrise and sunset are calculated. Because the Earth rotates and its axis is tilted, prayer times at different points cannot coincide. Latitude determines the length of day and night, longitude determines the moment the sun passes certain positions, and the time zone brings the calculation to local time. The sum of these factors makes the schedule unique for each city.
We update the schedule in Elista 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 (03:01) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (19:27): 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 not recommended. The prayer schedule is sensitive to geography: even a difference of tens of kilometres leads to a discrepancy in the Fajr, Maghrib and Isha times. The sun rises and sets at its own moment above each locality, so the data of a neighbouring city is only approximate. To perform the prayer on time, it is advisable to use the schedule calculated for Elista according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
