Ramadan 2026 Timetable: Check Sehri–Iftar Timings 

Ramadan 2026 in India is expected to run from 19 February to 20 March, with Sehri and Iftar timings gradually shifting a few minutes earlier in the morning and later in the evening as days pass. For people planning school runs, office hours, or just the daily chai, having the full timetable on hand really helps life feel a bit less chaotic.

Here is the day‑wise Ramadan 2026 fasting timetable (approximate, city‑wise variations of a few minutes are normal):

In many homes, this timetable quietly ends up stuck to the fridge or pinned near the prayer mat, with tiny pen marks as people tick off each fast and plan their sehri menus.

How Many Days Left for Ramadan 2026?

From 12 February 2026, Ramadan 2026 is just a week away, with the first roza likely on Thursday, 19 February 2026 in most parts of India, subject to the local moon sighting. That “one week to go” phase is when the cleaning starts, dates get stocked up, and the discussion shifts from “what to cook today” to “what to cook for the first iftar.”

A simple way many families keep track:

• Mark 19 February to 20 March on the calendar as the expected fasting window.

• Keep one margin note: “Dates may shift by a day, depending on moon sighting.”

• Treat the last few days before Ramadan as a warm‑up: lighter meals, cutting back on random snacking, practising sleeping a bit earlier.

That small mental and physical prep makes the 4–5 AM alarm feel less brutal when the first sehri finally arrives.

Ramadan Significance

Ramadan is the month Muslims dedicate to fasting, prayer, reflection, and charity, turning ordinary days into a consistent routine of self‑discipline and spiritual reset. Beyond the technical part of “no food and drink from dawn to sunset,” there is a strong focus on patience, kindness, and repairing relationships where possible.

Common everyday scenes during Ramadan capture its spirit more than any definition:

• Neighbours sending over a plate of pakoras “just like that” at iftar time.

• Kids excitedly listening for the azaan and arguing over who gets to pass the water glasses.

• Offices quietly adjusting meeting times so colleagues can reach home before Maghrib.

It is also a month where acts of charity and community support peak, from sponsoring iftar meals to quietly clearing someone’s pending bills when they are struggling.

About Ramadan

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, and fasting in this month is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, observed by healthy adult Muslims from dawn (Sehri end/Fajr) to sunset (Iftar/Maghrib). Each fast begins with a pre‑dawn meal called Sehri and ends with Iftar at sunset, often starting with dates and water before moving to fuller meals.

Because the calendar is lunar, Ramadan shifts about 10–11 days earlier each year compared to the Gregorian calendar, which is why in 2026 it falls from mid‑February to March. Local Sehri and Iftar timings are always based on sunrise and sunset for each city, so while a reference timetable helps, most households still cross‑check with their local masjid or a trusted prayer‑time source to match the exact minute for their area.

Over the month, people often notice a small but real transformation: sleep schedules get messy, yes, but patience grows, priorities shift, and even a glass of water at sunset feels like a blessing that cannot quite be explained in words.
