Welcome to our live coverage of the Ramadan 2024 moon sighting in India. This auspicious month holds profound significance for Muslims globally, marking a period of fasting, prayer, self-reflection, and compassion.
As we await the sighting of the crescent moon, let’s remember that Ramadan begins with the first sighting of the lunar crescent. This sighting not only signals the start of fasting but also commemorates the first revelation of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
The beginning of Ramadan in India hinges upon the sighting of the moon in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries. Based on these sightings, Ramadan Al-Mubarak may commence either on March 12th (Tuesday) or March 13th (Wednesday), 2024.
Traditionally, the crescent moon is first sighted in Saudi Arabia, with subsequent sightings in Southeast Asian countries like India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
Unlike the Gregorian calendar, Islam follows the lunar or Hijri calendar, which consists of 354 days and is based on the moon’s phases.
In the previous year, 2023, Ramadan commenced in India on March 24th, with the first fast observed on March 25th.
