Ramadan Countdown
The start of the month of fasting.
Ramadan is in 203 days — Monday, 8 February 2027.
What is Ramadan?
Ramadan is the ninth Islamic month and the month of fasting (roza). The countdown here is to 1 Ramadan — the first day of fasting, which begins after the crescent is sighted.
When is Ramadan in 2027?
In India, Ramadan falls on Monday, 8 February 2027 (in 203 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
Fasting in Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is the month the Quran was revealed, and it contains Laylat al-Qadr — the Night of Decree — in its last ten nights. Its exact start depends on the moon sighting.
How it is observed
Muslims fast from Suhoor (pre-dawn) to Iftar (sunset), pray Taraweeh at night, increase charity and Quran recitation, and seek Laylat al-Qadr in the final ten nights.
