Kotharia lies 957 km south-west of New Delhi, so Dhuhr in Kotharia comes roughly 26 minutes later than in New Delhi. The gap is due to longitude: each degree moves solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital is not accurate in Kotharia.
Qibla in Kotharia and distance to Makkah
In Kotharia you pray towards the west, at an angle of 274.3° from true north; the Kaaba is 3,195 km away. This bearing is calculated with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Kotharia and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Note that a compass points to magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees from true north.
