It is also called Meethi Eid, Eid-ul-Fitr, Eid-al-Fitr and Ramadan Eid. Muslims keep fast in the month of Ramadan and after this Eid is celebrated. In such a situation, the festival of Eid also marks the end of Ramadan.
When will Eid be celebrated in India?
The date of Eid varies across the world. Because in the country where the moon is seen first, Eid is celebrated first. Generally, Eid is celebrated in India the next day after the moon is sighted in Saudi Arabia. Today in India, fasting people will see the moon in the sky after breaking the 29th fast in the evening. If the Shawwal moon is visible today, then Eid will be celebrated in India on April 10 and if the crescent moon is not visible, then Eid-ul-Fitr will be celebrated in the country on April 11.

Why is it important to see the moon before Eid?
Actually, the Islamic calendar is based on the moon and all the festivals related to Islam depend on the movement of the moon. According to Islamic Ruyat-e-Hilal (seeing the new moon), seeing the crescent moon is a religious process. In the Islamic calendar, a new month begins after the sighting of the new moon. Similarly, after seeing the new moon on the last day of Ramadan, the month of Shawwal begins and Eid is celebrated.
