Mumbai, March 05: Ramadan 2025 has just begun and Muslims are already looking for Eid 2025 date to plan festivities. Eid, also known as Eid al-Fitr and Eid Ul Fitr, is celebrated on the first day of Shawwal, the 10th month of the Islamic calendar. "Eid 2025 date in India" and "Eid Kab Hai" are among trending searches on Google.

Below are the tentative dates for Eid al-Fitr 2025 and confirmed date for moon sighting day, also knwon as Chand Raat.

The Islamic calendar follows the lunar cycle, meaning each month lasts for either 29 or 30 days, depending on the crescent moon sighting. On 29th day of each month, Muslims look for the crescent moon. If the moon is sighted, the ongoing month concludes and a new month starts from the next day. In case the moon is not sighted, a new month begins after the ongoing month completes 30 days. In India, March 30 corresponds to 29th of Ramadan 2025 (Ramadan 1446). Ramadan 2025 Fasting Rules: Is Smoking Allowed While Fasting? Does Period Break Your Fast?
