About this festival

Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan. It begins when the new crescent moon of Shawwal is sighted, so the evening before Eid (Chand Raat) is all about spotting the moon just after sunset. The date shown here is an astronomical prediction for India. The final date is announced by moon-sighting committees.

How it is observed

  • Look for the thin crescent low in the west, 15–40 minutes after sunset on Chand Raat.
  • Eid prayers (namaz) are held in the morning, followed by greetings and family visits.
  • Zakat al-Fitr (charity) is given before the Eid prayer.

Questions people ask

Why is Eid in India often a day after Saudi Arabia?

The crescent is easier to see further west and a day later the moon is older and brighter. India follows local sighting, so Eid here is often one day later.

Where should I look for the Eid moon?

Face west just after sunset. The crescent is very thin and low; it sets soon after the sun. The moonset time for your city is shown above.
