Ramadan 2021 starts on or around the evening of April 13. This is the second Ramadan being observed by millions of Muslims across the world amid the Covid-19 pandemic. The start on Ramadan or Ramzan in India depends on the sighting of the crescent moon locally. Muslims celebrate the start of Ramadan by greeting each other with"Ramadan Mubarak" and "Ramadan Kareem", which means ''a blessed and generous month to you''. Saudi Arabia, custodian of Islam's two holiest sites, said the moon, which is used to establish the beginning of the Ramadan month, was not visible on Sunday and that observation committees would meet again on Monday night.
