Frequently asked questions
What is the qibla direction in Assam?
Towards the west. In Guwahati it is 275.80°, measured clockwise from true north; the other cities of Assam lie between 275° and 277°.
Is the qibla the same everywhere in Assam?
Nearly, but not exactly. The qibla is the shortest path over the globe to the Kaaba, so the bearing changes a little from place to place. Use the page of your own city.
Can I use a compass with these bearings?
The bearings are measured from true north. A magnetic compass can be several degrees off depending on where you are, so check it with the sun method described on your city's page.
