Ramzan 2023: Ramadan start and end date in India, UAE, Dubai and other countries

Ramadan, an auspicious occasion for the people in the Islam community, is celebrated during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. This holy month is designated as a time for prayer, fasting, introspection, and fellowship.
