The fast is a way to cleanse the body and soul, and to demonstrate solidarity with those who are less fortunate.

During Ramadan, Muslims are encouraged to read the Quran, perform extra prayers, and attend nightly gathering in mosques to listen to sermons and participate in communal meals.

The holy month will end with the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the fast and the beginning of a three-day festival.

In India, Ramadan is expected to begin on Wednesday, March 22, 2023, after the sighting of the moon over Mecca. Ramadan will end on Friday, April 21, 2023, and Eid-ul-Fitr will be celebrated on Saturday, April 22, 2023. However, the dates for each country may vary.
