The auspicious festival of Eid-ul-Fitr will be celebrated across India on Monday, March 31, 2025, after the crescent was sighted in major cities like New Delhi, Lucknow, Bengaluru, Noida, Kolkata, Chennai, Patna, and Mumbai on Sunday evening.

This moon sighting marks the beginning of the month of Shawwal in the Islamic lunar calendar and signals the end of Ramadan, the sacred month of fasting. Millions of Muslims across the country will gather to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr, following 30 days of fasting.

Eid-ul-Fitr is being celebrated today, March 30, 2025, in Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Middle East, including the UAE, after the crescent moon was sighted in the region on Saturday evening. Saudi Arabia’s moon-sighting committee confirmed the sighting after evening prayers, declaring Sunday as the first day of Eid.

Kerala is the only state in India that celebrates Eid-ul-Fitr on the same day as Saudi Arabia, regardless of the moon sighting in India.

Eid-ul-Fitr, determined by the sighting of the crescent moon, often varies in date across different parts of the world.
