Frequently asked questions

What is the qibla direction in Madhya Pradesh?

Towards the west. In Indore it is 274.81°, measured clockwise from true north; the other cities of Madhya Pradesh lie between 270° and 277°.

Is the qibla the same everywhere in Madhya Pradesh?

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.
