Ramadan represents a deeply spiritual time marked by discipline, prayer and compassion. Muslims fast daily from Sehri until Iftar, the sunset meal that symbolises unity and thankfulness.
Because sunset occurs at different times across India, iftar timings naturally vary from city to city. Observers carefully follow local sunset schedules to ensure the fast is broken correctly. As per tradition, the fast is usually opened with dates and water before families gather for the main meal.
