Muslims across the world observe the month with fasting and praying. The month ends with the festival of Eid.

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.
