Muslims in India began observing Ramadan today, March 12th, following the sighting of the crescent moon in Saudi Arabia. This holy month is a time for fasting, prayer, and reflection.
During Ramadan, Muslims abstain from food and drink from dawn to dusk. The pre-dawn meal, called Sehri, is a crucial part of the day. Eaten before the morning prayer, Sehri provides essential nutrients and hydration to sustain people throughout the fast.
Fasting breaks at sunset with another important meal called Iftar. Traditionally, dates and water are consumed first, followed by a variety of dishes depending on the region.
Here are the Sehri and Iftar timings for India:
