Fitr 2025
Eid
Fitr , or (Eid-al-Fitr) comes after the holiest period for Muslims, i.e., Ramadan 2025, which started on Sunday, March 2, after the crescent moon was spotted on March 1, 2025.
The date of Eid
Fitr 2025 in India will depend on whether or not the Moon is visible from Indian skies. If the moon is sighted on Sunday, March 30, then India, along with other neighbouring nations like Pakistan and Afghanistan, will celebrate this as the commencement of Ramadan and as Eid on Monday, March 31.
If the crescent moon is not visible due to rare circumstances, then according to the Islamic lunar calendar or Hijri customs, one cannot celebrate Eid. The official confirmation about Eid
Fitr will only come after the crescent moon is spotted.
In India, the Imams of Delhi's Jama Masjid and the Lucknow Mosque will announce the official news about Eid on Sunday after the moon is spotted around multiple cities nationwide.
