Ramadan: Sehri, Iftar timings for March 1 in Delhi, Lucknow, Hyderabad and other cities

As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, Muslims across India prepare for a month of fasting, prayer, and reflection. The commencement of Ramadan is traditionally determined by the sighting of the crescent moon, which is first observed in Gulf countries. Consequently, this year, Ramadan is expected to begin on March 1 in India, following a day after its initial sighting in the western regions. During this sacred month, Sehri (pre-dawn meal) and Iftar (meal to break the fast) timings are critical for those observing the fast. In major Indian cities like Delhi, Lucknow, and Hyderabad, local mosques and community centers will provide specific timings to aid practitioners in their observance. These timings vary slightly by location and are essential for maintaining the schedule of fasting, which extends from dawn until sunset. As the community gears up for Ramadan, many are also reminded of the importance of charity and community service during this time, reinforcing the values of compassion and generosity central to the faith. With the air filled with spiritual fervor, Ramadan serves as a reminder of the significance of faith and togetherness among Muslims across the country.
