Moonlight Magic: Eid Festivities Set for Monday in India!

Crescent moon has been formally sighted in India, thus marking that Eid-ul-Fitr would be observed on Monday, March 31, 2025. This has been confirmed by Khalid Rashid Farangi, the Chairman of the Central Moon Sighting Committee, based on sightings from major cities like Lucknow and Kolkata. It is a time of celebration which marks the completion of Ramadan, a period of fasting and devotional thoughts among Muslims globally.

 

Eid-ul-Fitr, also known as the "Festival of Breaking the Fast," is a day for communal prayers, feasting, and charity. In India, big cities like New Delhi, Bengaluru, and Mumbai are preparing for celebrations, with special prayers to be held at local mosques. The festival is all about gratitude and unity, bringing Muslims together as they celebrate this special day.

 

Though most of the countries in the Middle East have already started their Eid celebrations today, India will follow suit tomorrow. As families make preparations for the festival, the atmosphere is filled with the spirit of joy and generosity throughout the country.
