**New Delhi, India** – Ramadan, the holy month of fasting for Muslims, will begin in India on Sunday, March 2nd, 2025, following the sighting of the crescent moon in Saudi Arabia. The announcement was made by the Jama Masjid in Delhi and Lucknow’s Shahi Imam.

Muslims across India will observe Roza (fasting) from sunrise to sunset. The day begins with Sehri, a pre-dawn meal, and concludes with Iftar, a meal consumed after sunset. Precise Sehri and Iftar timings vary by location and are available from local mosques. LiveMint has published a preliminary list of timings for major cities, but advises checking with local mosques for the most accurate information.

The month-long observance culminates in the joyous celebration of Eid al-Fitr, expected on either March 31st or April 1st, 2025, depending on the sighting of the next crescent moon. This year’s Ramadan holds special significance as it marks the anniversary of the revelation of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad.
