India, March 27 -- Eid-ul-Fitr, also called Meethi Eid, is a significant Islamic festival that marks the conclusion of Ramadan, a holy month of fasting, prayers, and giving. Celebrated on the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month in the Islamic calendar, its date is determined by the sighting of the new moon.

In India, Eid-ul-Fitr 2025 is likely to be celebrated on March 31 or April 1, depending on the sighting of the Shawwal crescent moon. On this special day, Muslims gather for the Eid prayer early in the morning, right after the Fajr prayer. The timing of the Eid Namaz varies across different cities, usually taking place shortly after sunrise. (Also read: Eid 2025: When is Eid ul-Fitr? Check correct moon sighting dates for Saudi Arabi...
