Eid-ul-Fitr Moon Sighting Date in India: Eid-ul-Fitr marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan. The festival is also known as Eid-al-Fitr, Meethi Eid, Id-al-Fitr, and Ramadan Eid. Eid-ul-Fitr is one of the most auspicious festivals observed by all Muslims around the globe. During this month, followers of Islam worldwide observe fasting every day from dawn to dusk.

India is expected to observe the festivities tentatively on April 10 or 11 this year, depending on the sighting of the moon.
The moon sighting for Eid-ul-Fitr in Canada is anticipated to take place on Tuesday, April 9.

“The sighting of the lunar crescent within one day of new moon is usually difficult. The crescent at this time is quite thin, has a low surface brightness, and can easily be lost in the twilight. Generally, the lunar crescent will become visible to suitably-located, experienced observers with good sky conditions about one day after new moon. However, the time that the crescent actually becomes visible varies quite a bit from one month to another. Naked-eye sightings as early as 15.5 hours after new moon have been reliably reported while observers with telescopes have made reliable reports as early as 12.1 hours after new moon,” The United States Naval Observatory reportedly stated
