Eid Namaz Timing In India: The festival of Eid-ul-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting, prayer, and reflection observed by Muslims across the world. In India, the exact date of Eid depends
on the sighting of the crescent moon, which signals the beginning of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic lunar calendar.
This year, the moon was expected to be visible on the evening of March 19, making March 20 the likely date for Eid. However, since the crescent wasn’t sighted, Ramadan has completed 30 days, and Eid-ul-Fitr is being celebrated today, March 21.
