**NEW DELHI** – Muslims across India observed the third day of Ramadan, known as Roza, on Tuesday, March 4th, 2025. The holy month, which commemorates the revelation of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad, began on March 2nd and will conclude on either March 30th or 31st, depending on the moon sighting. Eid al-Fitr celebrations will follow shortly after.
The day involves fasting from dawn until sunset. Sehri, the pre-dawn meal, and Iftaar, the sunset meal, mark the beginning and end of the fast. Timings vary across India. In Delhi, Sehri was at 5:24 AM and Iftaar at 6:25 PM. Other cities saw slightly different times, with Kolkata’s Sehri starting at 4:40 AM and Mumbai’s at 5:42 AM. A complete list of Sehri and Iftaar timings for several major Indian cities was compiled by LiveMint, but individuals are advised to confirm timings with local mosques.
The sighting of the crescent moon will determine the exact date of Eid al-Fitr. If sighted on March 30th, Eid will be celebrated on March 31st; if sighted on March 31st, Eid will be celebrated on April 1st. During Eid, families and friends gather for feasts and celebrations.
