Ramadan 2026 Timetable: City-Wise Sehri and Iftar Timings for Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Lucknow

The holy month of Ramadan — also spelled Ramzan, Ramzaan, or Ramazan — is considered one of the most sacred periods for Muslims worldwide. Observed during the ninth month of the Islamic lunar (Hijri) calendar, Ramadan marks a time of fasting, prayer, charity, and spiritual reflection.

When Did Ramadan 2026 Begin in India?

The beginning of Ramadan is determined by the sighting of the crescent moon. While Gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates often commence observances earlier, India typically begins a day later due to geographical differences.

In India, the Ramadan crescent moon was sighted on February 18, 2026, making February 19, 2026, the first day of fasting (roza).

Fasting from dawn to sunset during Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. Observant Muslims abstain from food, drink, smoking, and marital relations during daylight hours, while also focusing on prayer and self-discipline.

Sehri and Iftar

• Sehri (Suhoor): Pre-dawn meal before the fast begins

• Iftar: Meal at sunset to break the fast

Sehri and iftar timings vary daily based on sunrise and sunset, and differ by location.
