Live Qibla Compass

On a phone or tablet, tap below to turn your device into a qibla compass — hold it flat and rotate until the 🕋 reaches the top. On a laptop/desktop the dial is static: its top is North, so the 🕋 position shows your qibla direction.

NE SW 🕋

Static dial — top of circle = North. The 🕋 shows Delhi's qibla (266.60° = West).

Qibla Direction — Delhi

Field	Value
City	Delhi
Qibla Bearing	266.60°
Cardinal Direction	West
Distance to Makkah	3,835 km

The qibla is the direction of the Kaaba in Makkah, computed as a great-circle bearing from Delhi (28.6139°, 77.2090°). Use a compass and face the computed bearing from true north.

Formula

bearing = atan2( sin(dLng), cos(lat) * tan(21.4225) - sin(lat) * cos(dLng) )
dLng = 39.8262 - longitude   (Kaaba: 21.4225 N, 39.8262 E)
distance = 6371 * 2 * atan2( sqrt(a), sqrt(1-a) )  (great-circle, km)

Example

From Delhi: 266.60 degrees = West. From London: 118.79 degrees = South-East.

How to Use

3. Tap "Use My Location" to compute the bearing from your exact position.
4. On a phone, tap "Enable Live Compass" and rotate until the Kaaba icon reaches the top.
