Why timings will differ
Sehri and Iftar times will differ from city to city due to variations in sunrise and sunset based on longitude and latitude. Cities located further east, such as Kolkata, will experience earlier dawn and dusk compared to cities in western India like Mumbai. Religious scholars will advise devotees to strictly adhere to local prayer calendars and mosque announcements, as daily timings will shift slightly throughout the lunar month.
