Ramadan 2021 India: Date, Sehri and iftar timings, importance, fasting rules

Ramadan is the most pious month for billions of Muslims across the world as they observe fast during this auspicious month. This year, Ramadan will begin on April 14, 2021 in India and end on the evening of May 12, 2021 (dates will depend on moon sighting). During this time, Muslims across the country will observe fasting, which is called roza. During fasting, one should not eat or drink anything before the dawn of the sun. People wake up before sun rise to have their first meal and they break their fast with the evening meal called iftaar. 

Ramadan falls in the ninth month of Islamic calendar and it starts after the sighting of the crescent moon.

The moon sighting committee of the Kingdom of Saudia Arabia on Sunday announced that the  first fast of the month of Ramadan in Gulf region will be on Tuesday, April 13. Taraweeh will begin on April 12 after Isha prayers.
