Ramadan 2024 Moon Sighting in India Live News Updates: Fasting To Begin Tomorrow in Bangladesh as Ramzan 1445 Crescent Moon Sighted

Muslim communities across India and the Indian subcontinent will gather today to search for the moon of Ramadan 2024. Ruet-e-Hilal Committees in Mumbai, Delhi, Lucknow, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, and other parts of the country will assemble and try to see the crescent. If the moon is sighted today, special 'Taraweeh' prayers will begin after Isha (night prayer).

The sighting of Ramzan crescent will determine the fasting date in India. If the moon is sighted today, the Ramadan 2024 fasting will begin tomorrow (March 12). If the moon is not sighted today (Chand Raat), Shabaan will complete 30 days tomorrow (March 12). Muslims will then begin Ramadan fasting on Wednesday, March 13. Follow our live news updates on the Ramadan 2024 moon sighting in India and the Indian subcontinent.

On Sunday, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) announced that Ramadan would be observed from Monday (March 11). Therefore, it is most likely that the date of observance in India and neighbouring regions will be March 12.

Meanwhile, in Pakistan, the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee met in Peshawar earlier today to see the crescent of Ramzan 2024. Chairman Maulana Abdul Khabir Azad will lead the meeting, alongside simultaneous gatherings of Zonal and District Ruet-e-Hilal Committees. According to the Met Office, the new Islamic month's moon was born at 2 p.m. on Sunday, indicating a strong likelihood that Ramzan 2024 will commence on Tuesday (March 12) in Pakistan. The PMD stated that the moon's age will exceed 28 hours at the time of sighting on March 11.
