Mumbai, March 26: As the holy month of Ramadan continues, Muslims across India and worldwide observe the spiritual practice of fasting with devotion and enthusiasm. Today marks the fifteenth Roza of Ramadan, with tomorrow being the sixteenth Roza, a significant milestone in this sacred month. The observance of Ramadan commenced on March 12 in India, following the sighting of the crescent moon of Ramadan on March 11.

Ramadan, one of the most revered months in Islam, is characterised by fasting from dawn until dusk, a practice considered one of the five pillars of the faith. Muslims begin their fast in the early morning after partaking in a pre-dawn meal known as Sehri and break their fast with an evening meal called Iftar, after sunset. These timings vary from city to city, depending on the local sunrise and sunset. Ramadan 2024 Calendar: Sehri and Iftar Timings for 15th Roza of Ramzan on March 26 in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Lucknow and Other Cities of India.
