Eid Ul Fitr 2025 Date and Time in India
The date of Eid ul-Fitr 2025 in India depends on the sighting of the crescent moon, as the Islamic calendar follows the lunar cycle.
- If the moon is sighted on March 30, Eid will be celebrated on March 31.
- If the moon is not visible, Eid will fall on April 1.
In Saudi Arabia, the process is similar but one day earlier:
