Frequently asked questions
What is the qibla direction in Nagaland?
Towards the west. In Dimapur it is 276.73°, measured clockwise from true north; the other cities of Nagaland lie between 276.5° and 277.2°.
Is the qibla the same everywhere in Nagaland?
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.
