Ramadan is not uniformly observed globally — the start date can vary by country or even be different mosque to mosque in the same city for a variety of reasons. But it all starts with a sighting of the crescent moon.

In India, the crescent moon will be sighted around 6 pm today to determine the start of Ramadan. However, in Saudi Arabia and Indonesia, Roza has already begun. Stay tuned for LIVE updates on Ramadan 2025.

Ramzan is a sacred Islamic period in the ninth month of the Hijri or Islamic lunar calendar. The holy fasting period leading up to Eid 2025 is expected to commence on the evening of March 2, depending on moon sightings in various parts of the country.
