The crescent moon for Ramadan 2024 was sighted in India on March 11, indicating the start of the fasting period from March 12.
Muslims in India will follow a fasting schedule that includes Sehri (pre-dawn meal) and Iftar (meal to break the fast) based on city-specific timings.
The moon was sighted a day after it was observed in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, aligning with the usual pattern of moon sightings in Asian countries.
During Ramadan, Muslims engage in heightened piety, self-reflection, and community strengthening through fasting, prayers, and charitable acts.
City-wise Sehri and Iftar timings have been provided to assist in the observance of prayers and fasting during Ramadan 2024.
