Ramadan 2025 - India Fasting Hours and Top Cities with Longest Fasting

The sacred and holy month of Ramzan started on the evening of February 28th and will continue till March 30th or 31st depending on the lunar sighting in India. Ninth month in the Islamic Lunar calendar or the Hijri calendar, Ramadan/Ramzan is a festival where Muslims observe fasting from dawn until sunset, known as Roza. This act is one of the five pillars of Islam, and it embodies principles like devotion, self-discipline, and spiritual reflection. 

Owing to the variations in daylight hours, the length of the fasting time varies across the world, from region to region. Individuals living in Northern regions may experience longer fasting hours compared to those nearer the Equator or in the Southern Hemisphere, which is currently tilted away from the Sun.
