Prayer Times in Khulna, Bangladesh

Praying in Khulna

Khulna, Bangladesh's third city, is the gateway to the Sundarbans — the world's largest mangrove forest and home of the Royal Bengal tiger. This industrial river-port city of around 1.5 million people sits on the Rupsha River, processing jute, shrimp and newsprint for the nation, with the haunting beauty of the mangrove delta just downstream. Khulna's cuisine is famous for chui jhal, a fiery local spice cooked with beef that draws food lovers from Dhaka.

The region's Islamic heritage centres on nearby Bagerhat, where the 15th-century saint-general Khan Jahan Ali built the Sixty Dome Mosque — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest historic mosque in Bangladesh, its 77 domes rising from the delta plain. Khulna's own mosques serve mill workers, shrimp farmers and the university community, with prayer times shifting through the monsoon: June Fajr near 3:45 AM under heavy rain clouds, December Fajr around 5:15 AM in cool fog. During Ramadan, Khulna's Rupsha ghat area hosts floating iftar markets on boats, and the city's shrimp — its famous 'white gold' — appears on iftar tables across the region.
