Siraha is located 146 km south-east of Kathmandu, so Dhuhr in Siraha comes roughly 4 minutes earlier than in Kathmandu. The gap is due to longitude: every degree of longitude shifts solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Siraha.
Qibla direction in Siraha
From Siraha you pray towards the west, at an angle of 273.3° from true north; the Kaaba is 4,721 km away. This bearing is calculated with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Siraha and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Remember that a compass points to magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees from true north.
