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.
