Ramadan Timetable 2019: Iftar and Sehri Timings in Srinagar reference

With the crescent moon being sighted in various parts of India, the holy month of fasting for Muslims - Ramadan or Ramzan - has started on May 7. Ramzan which is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, involves rigorous fasting for Muslims between sunrise and sunset. During this 30-day period, Muslims do not consume food or water from dawn to dusk. They eat Sehri or Suhoor (a pre-dawn meal) and break their day-long fast with 'Iftar' in the evening.

A typical Suhoor often includes bread, vegetables, fruits, yogurt, tea, as well as lentils and beans. At sunset, when it's time to mark the end of the daylong fast, families and friends gather for Iftar - the fast-breaking meal. Iftar refers to some lavish affairs of home-cooked platters of rice, stews and meat, as well as spreads of desserts and other sweets.

However, the Sehri and Iftar timings vary from state to state based on the sunrise and sunset that change every day. Let's have a quick look at the Sehri and Iftar timings of Srinagar based on Islamic Month and Gregorian Calendar.
