Eid al-Fitr Countdown
The festival that ends Ramadan.
Eid al-Fitr is in 233 days — Wednesday, 10 March 2027.
What is Eid al-Fitr?
Eid al-Fitr is celebrated on 1 Shawwal, the day after Ramadan ends. Chand Raat is the evening the Eid crescent is sighted — the night before Eid.
When is Eid al-Fitr in 2027?
In India, Eid al-Fitr falls on Wednesday, 10 March 2027 (in 233 days), based on the expected moon sighting.
This date is calculated for India and may shift by a day depending on the actual crescent sighting — final confirmation comes from your local Hilal committee after Maghrib. Because India follows local sighting, the date can differ from Saudi Arabia by about a day.
Significance
Eid al-Fitr is a day of gratitude for completing the fasts of Ramadan. Zakat al-Fitr (a small charity) must be given before the Eid prayer so the poor can also celebrate. Its date depends on sighting the Shawwal crescent.
How it is observed
The day begins with the Eid prayer, followed by greetings (Eid Mubarak), festive meals, new clothes, gifts (Eidi) and visiting family. Chand Raat markets stay busy late into the night.
