About this festival

The holy month of Ramadan begins with the sighting of the new crescent moon. The first roza (fast) is kept the day after the moon is seen. The date here is an astronomical prediction for India; the official start is announced after local moon sighting.

How it is observed

  • Look for the crescent in the west just after sunset on the sighting evening.
  • Taraweeh prayers begin that night.
  • Sehri is eaten before dawn and the fast is broken at sunset with iftar.
