Please note that these timings are based on city-specific sunrise and sunset calculations and may vary by 1-2 minutes depending on local sightings and specific calculation methods (Sunni/Shia).

The accuracy of these timings is vital for observers, as the fast (Roza) is a strictly timed spiritual discipline. Sehri must be completed before the first light of dawn (Fajr), while Iftar begins immediately upon the sunset call to prayer (Maghrib).

Community leaders often advise residents to follow the timings provided by their local mosques or reliable astronomical sources like UrduPoint to account for micro-local variations in high-rise buildings or coastal areas. Ramadan 2026 Guide: Full List of What Breaks Your Fast and What Doesn't.

Spirit of the Month

Beyond the dietary restrictions, Ramadan in India is characterized by a spirit of charity and community. In cities like Hyderabad and Lucknow, markets remain active late into the night, and communal Iftars are organized in mosques and public spaces to foster brotherhood.

As the summer heat begins to rise in several parts of the country, health experts recommend that those fasting prioritize hydration during the non-fasting hours and consume slow-digesting carbohydrates during Sehri to maintain energy levels throughout the day.
