Here it may be noted that Islamic calendar is based on lunar cycle. Hence, Muslims rely on the testimonies of moon sightings to determine the start of a month. Muslims look for the moon on 29th day of each Islamic month. The evening of 29th is called Chand Raat. If the moon is sighted in the evening of 29th day, ongoing month gets over and a new month begins. If the moon is not sighted, the ongoing month completes 30 days and Muslims welcome a new month after that. Eid 2023 Date in India: When Is Eid al-Fitr Moon Sighting?

In India, 29th of Shaban, the month before Ramadan, was on March 22. While the moon remains invisible in several parts of India, Muslims in some parts of Kerala and Jammu and Kashmir received testimonies of the moon sighting. Therefore, Muslims in Kerala and Jammu and Kashmir started their Ramadan fasting from March 23. Muslims in rest of the country started Ramadan fasting from March 24.

Since Ramadan fasting started from March 23 in Kerala and Jammu and Kashmir, today marks 29th of Ramadan for Muslims there. Therefore, if the moon is sighted today, Muslims in Kerala and Jammu and Kashmir will welcome Shawwal and celebrate Eid on April 21. If the moon is not sighted, Ramadan shall complete 30 days on April 21. In this case, Muslims in Kerala and Jammu and Kashmir shall observe Eid on April 22.
