Ramadan Festival Date Confirmed for Nationwide Celebration The Ruhit-El-Hilal Committee has officially announced that the sacred Islamic festival of Ramadan will be celebrated nationwide on March 21, Saturday. The new moon was not visible today, so Muslims will complete their fasting process tomorrow. In addition to Telugu states, the main cities of the country also did not see the new moon today. As a result, the month of Ramadan, which lasts 30 days, will end on Friday. Special Eid prayers will be held in mosques at 10 a.m. on Saturday. The decision to mark March 21 as the start of Ramadan follows the absence of the new moon on the previous day, which is a key factor in determining the beginning of the lunar month. This year, the celebration of Ramadan will span across all major cities in the country, including those in Telugu states, reflecting the widespread observance of the festival. The committee’s announcement underscores the significance of Ramadan as a time of spiritual reflection, communal unity, and religious devotion among Muslims. Eid prayers, a central part of the festival, will be conducted at 10 a.m. on Saturday, marking the conclusion of the fasting period. These prayers are typically held in mosques and open spaces, with communities gathering to express gratitude and seek blessings. The timing of the prayers aligns with the sighting of the new moon, which was not observed on the previous day, leading to the adjustment of the festival’s start date. The observance of Ramadan is deeply rooted in Islamic tradition, involving daily fasting from dawn to sunset, increased prayer, and acts of charity. The festival’s timing varies each year due to the lunar calendar, and its celebration is a testament to the cultural and religious practices of the Muslim community in India.#ramadan #ruhit_el_hilal_committee #telugu_states #eid_prayers #mosques
