Prime Minister Narendra Modi today greeted the nation on the beginning of the holy month of Ramzan. "May this auspicious month further the spirit of harmony, happiness and brotherhood in our society," the PM tweeted last night.
Ramzan is a time of spiritual reflection and increased devotion and worship. During this time, Muslims do not eat or drink even a drop of water and observe prayers 5 times a day.
Sehri, a pre-fast meal is eaten before sunrise and the fast is broken with a post-fast meal called "iftar".
Greetings on the start of the holy month of Ramzan. May this auspicious month further the spirit of harmony, happiness and brotherhood in our society.
