Summer and winter prayer times in Punjab
Prayer times in Punjab vary a lot between the seasons. Around the summer solstice (21 June) Fajr is at around 3:45 AM and Maghrib at 7:33 PM, giving a day of 14 h 09 min. Around the winter solstice (21 December) Fajr moves to 5:54 AM and Maghrib to 5:29 PM, and the day lasts only 10 h 09 min. That is a difference of 4 h 01 min between the longest and the shortest day, and it explains why the adhan moves noticeably from month to month.
