The Ramadan timetable shows the precise timings for Sehri (pre-dawn meal) and Iftar (breaking fast) during the holy month of Ramadan. These times vary by city based on geographic location and sunrise/sunset calculations.
Ramadan 2026 in India
Ramadan 2026 is expected to begin on February 17, 2026(subject to moon sighting) and will last for 29-30 days. India's large Muslim population of nearly 200 million makes accurate timetables essential for communities across the country.
Understanding Sehri & Iftar Times
Sehri (सेहरी / ಸೆಹ್ರಿ): The pre-dawn meal consumed before the Fajr prayer. Muslims must finish eating before the Fajr Azan (call to prayer). Sehri time ends approximately 10-15 minutes before sunrise.
Iftar (इफ़्तार / ಇಫ್ತಾರ್): The evening meal to break the fast after sunset. Iftar begins at the time of Maghrib prayer, traditionally broken with dates and water following the Sunnah.

Why Times Differ by City
Prayer times are calculated based on the sun's position, which varies by geographic location. Cities in the east (like Kolkata) see sunrise earlier than western cities (like Mumbai), resulting in different Sehri and Iftar times. Latitude also affects prayer times - northern cities like Srinagar have different timings than southern cities like Bangalore.
