**New Delhi, India** – The holy month of Ramadan, a period of fasting and spiritual reflection for Muslims worldwide, officially begins on March 2nd in India, following the sighting of the new moon on March 1st. This announcement was made by Jama Masjid and Lucknow’s Shahi Imam. In Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern nations, Ramadan commenced on March 1st after the moon sighting on Friday evening.

Ramadan, which marks the revelation of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad, is observed by Muslims globally for 29 or 30 days, during which they abstain from food and drink from dawn until sunset. The daily routine includes *Sehri*, a pre-dawn meal, and *Iftar*, the meal that breaks the fast at sunset.

The month-long observance will conclude with the joyous Eid al-Fitr celebrations, where families and friends gather to mark the end of Ramadan.

This year’s Ramadan is expected to bring renewed focus on spiritual growth and self-discipline for millions of Muslims around the world.
