Eid 2025: When is Eid-ul-Fitr in India?

Understanding Eid-ul-Fitr in 2025

Eid-ul-Fitr is an important festival celebrated by Muslims around the world, marking the end of Ramadan. In 2025, Ramadan began on March 2, and many are eager to know the expected date for Eid celebrations. In India, Eid-ul-Fitr is likely to be celebrated on either March 31 or April 1, depending on the moon sighting.

Moon Sighting and Eid Celebration Dates

The Islamic calendar is lunar-based, which necessitates the sighting of the moon to determine the start of Eid. In Saudi Arabia, the moon sighting will take place on the evening of March 29. If the moon is sighted, Eid will be observed on March 31 in the country. Should the moon not be visible, Eid will be celebrated on April 1.

Eid in India: Regional Variations

In India, the date of Eid can vary between states as different communities may base their observance on local moon sightings. This means there could be slight variations in celebrations across the nation. However, the majority are expected to follow the prediction of March 31 or April 1 for Eid-ul-Fitr 2025. It’s always wise for observers to confirm with their local mosques for precise timings.
