About prayer times in Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is listed here with 12 major cities, starting with Colombo. All cities use the Asia/Colombo time zone. Clocks do not change seasonally, so prayer times shift only with the sun through the year.
The Karachi method sets fajr at 18°, isha at 18°. Standard Asr is the default; Asr begins when a shadow equals the object's length. Hanafi followers can switch to Hanafi Asr, which begins later. For the reasoning behind these choices see calculation methods compared and our methodology.
