Ramadan 2026 officially began in India on 19 February 2026 after the crescent moon was sighted on 18 February. On 21 February 2026, Muslims across the country will observe the third fast (3rd Roza) of the holy month.

Fasting starts at Sehri (Suhoor) before the Fajr prayer and ends at Iftar exactly at Maghrib (sunset). Because India spans a wide longitude range, sunrise and sunset times vary significantly from east to west — which directly affects Sehri and Iftar timings.

• Each day, Iftar becomes 1–2 minutes later
• Northern states may have slightly longer fast durations
• Eastern states break their fast earlier than western India
