**Patna, Bihar –** The holy month of Ramadan will begin on Sunday, March 2nd, 2025, in Bihar, India, following the sighting of the new moon. Muslims across the state will observe a month-long fast, culminating in the celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr. Taraweeh prayers commenced on Saturday evening.

Ramadan is considered a time of increased spiritual devotion and reflection, with the reward for good deeds believed to be multiplied seventy-fold. While the moon sighting was anticipated on Friday, it was not observed, leading to the commencement of Ramadan on Sunday, March 2nd.

Markets in Bihar are already bustling with shoppers stocking up on dates and vermicelli, essential items during the fasting period. Muslims abstain from food and drink from dawn (sehri) until dusk (iftar) throughout Ramadan, maintaining a high level of purity and cleanliness.

The Sehri (pre-dawn meal) timings for March 2nd in several Bihar cities are as follows:

* **Patna:** 4:49 AM
* **Muzaffarpur (Sunni):** 4:51 AM
