Topchikha prayer times overview
The Topchikha page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Local time is applied for Topchikha: the city's time zone is 4 часа ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
For Topchikha the coordinates 52.8221°N and 83.1208°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.
Topchikha 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.
The daytime interval in Topchikha today is 15 часов 15 минут — from sunrise at 05:55 to Maghrib at 21:10. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
6 часов 25 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 21:10 and the morning Fajr at 03:35. For Topchikha this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.

Questions about prayer times in Topchikha
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.
Prayer times in Topchikha are updated daily. This is related to the constant shifting of the sunrise and sunset moments following the Earth's orbit around the sun. The changes are especially noticeable during the transitional seasons — spring and autumn — when the day length changes fastest, sometimes by several minutes per day. For the schedule to remain accurate, it should be checked daily, not once a week.
Yes, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (03:35) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (21:10) — at sunset. Keep in mind: these values shift daily throughout Ramadan, so it is advisable to determine the current time according to the new schedule every morning and evening.
This is not the most reliable approach. The more accurate the coordinates, the more accurate the prayer times, and in each city they are unique. Even a small shift in latitude or longitude changes the moment of sunrise and sunset, and therefore the prayer times as well. Therefore, for Topchikha it is more correct to rely on an individual schedule drawn up for this city specifically; this is especially important during Ramadan, when the calculation is conducted literally in minutes.
