Eid ul Fitr in India: Marking the end of the month-long Ramadan, Eid ul Fitr is just round the corner. Eid ul Fitrmeans the 'festival of ending the fast'. The big day for Muslims starts with a special prayer on the morning of the first day of Shawwal, or the tenth month of the lunar Islamic calendar. According to traditions, since Ramadan started on Tuesday, April 13, Eid ul Fitr will fall on either Thursday, 13th May or Friday, 14th May. However, the exact date of Eid ul Fitr is subject to the sighting of the moon. According to believers, God forgives 'wrongdoings' of the devotees who pray and fast diligently during Ramadan. According to the islamicfinder.org, 2021 Eid ul Fitr 2021 is likely to be celebrated on 13th May but the exact date will be decided after the sighting of the moon of Shawwal, 1442, the tenth month of Islamic Calendar. Most countries have a high level committee of clerics who decide the day of Eid ul Fitr.
