Ramadan is observed across India with fasting from dawn to sunset. On 25 February 2026, Muslims will begin their fast before Fajr (Sehri) and break it at Maghrib (Iftar). Since sunrise and sunset vary across regions, timings differ from city to city.
Below are the approximate city-wise timings for 25-02-2026.
Note: Timings may vary slightly depending on local mosque announcements. Please confirm with your nearest masjid.
What is Sehri and Why Is It Important?
Sehri, also known as Suhoor, is the pre-dawn meal consumed before the Fajr prayer. It marks the beginning of the daily fast.
Islamic tradition encourages delaying Sehri close to Fajr time. However, it is advisable to stop eating a few minutes before the listed Sehri end time as a precaution.
Fasting officially begins at Fajr and continues until Maghrib.
What is Iftar?
Iftar is the meal taken at sunset to break the fast. It begins exactly at Maghrib prayer time.
Traditionally, the fast is broken with dates and water, followed by evening prayers and dinner. The timing of Iftar varies significantly across India due to geographical differences.

Why Sehri and Iftar Timings Differ Across India
India stretches widely from east to west, which means sunrise and sunset timings are not the same everywhere. For example, cities in the North-East like Shillong and Kolkata experience earlier sunrise and sunset compared to cities in Western India like Mumbai and Ahmedabad.
Because of this geographical variation, Muslims must follow city-specific prayer timetables rather than a single national timing.
Important Reminder for Fasting Muslims
- Sehri time ends at Fajr prayer.
- Iftar begins exactly at Maghrib (sunset).
- It is recommended to stop eating a few minutes before the official Sehri end time as a precaution.
- Always verify with your local mosque or Islamic calendar for exact confirmation.
Total Fasting Hours on 25 February 2026
Fasting duration also varies by city. On this date:
- North-East cities: approximately 12 hours
- North Indian cities: approximately 12 hours 30 minutes
- Western cities: approximately 12 hours 45 minutes
- Southern cities: approximately 12 hours 30 minutes
The fasting duration gradually increases as Ramadan progresses.
How to Confirm Accurate Prayer Times
Although published timetables provide guidance, it is always best to:
- Follow your local mosque announcements
- Check trusted Islamic calendars
- Use verified prayer time apps
- Refer to official moon sighting committees
Small variations of 1–3 minutes are common.
Healthy Sehri Tips
A balanced Sehri helps maintain energy throughout the day. Consider including:
- Complex carbohydrates (oats, whole wheat roti)
- Protein (eggs, yogurt, lentils)
- Fruits for hydration
- Plenty of water
Avoid excessive salty or fried food as it increases thirst.
Smart Iftar Practices
Breaking the fast properly is important:
- Start with dates and water
- Avoid overeating immediately
- Eat balanced meals
- Stay hydrated between Iftar and Sehri
Gradual eating prevents fatigue and discomfort.
