Eid-ul-Fitr 2024 moon sighting time in India
Eid-ul-Fitr 2024: The moon sighting ritual holds deep significance in Islamic tradition, marking the conclusion of the holy month of Ramadan. Families and communities come together to break their fast, offer prayers, and partake in joyous festivities that symbolise unity and gratitude.
The timing of Eid celebrations hinges on sighting the Shawwal crescent moon. Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar had announced it earlier, and are celebrating Eid on Wednesday (April 10). However, the crescent moon wasn't seen in Delhi, Hyderabad, and Lucknow, so Eid will be celebrated on Thursday(April 11).
