Ramadan Day 19: Today’s Sehri & Iftar Times Across Major Indian Cities
Across millions of homes and mosques, the rhythm of Ramadan continues as believers prepare for another day of fasting, reflection and discipline and timing is everything.
Day nineteen of Ramadan has arrived and for Muslims observing the fast, the early-morning Sehri meal marks the crucial beginning of the day’s spiritual journey. Before the first call to prayer at dawn, families gather quietly to eat, drink water and prepare their bodies for a long day without food or drink. Once the Fajr prayer begins, the fast officially starts and it continues until sunset.

Sehri is more than just a meal. It is considered a moment of preparation, both physical and spiritual. Many people choose simple but nourishing foods such as roti, rice, fruits, yogurt, milk and dates. These foods provide the energy needed to sustain the body through the fasting hours. But Ramadan is not only about abstaining from food and drink. It is also a time devoted to prayer, charity, patience and reflection.
Then comes the moment many wait for all day, the evening Iftar. As the sun sets, the fast is broken, traditionally with dates and water, followed by prayer. After that, families and communities often gather to share meals that include fruits, juices, pakoras, chaat and a variety of regional dishes. For many, Iftar is not only a meal but a moment of unity and gratitude.
Because the timing of sunrise and sunset changes slightly depending on location, the exact fasting schedule varies from city to city. On this day of Ramadan, sunset and Iftar arrive at different moments across India. In Delhi, the fast breaks at 6:27 PM. In Mumbai, Iftar is at 6:48 PM, while in Chennai it comes earlier at 6:20 PM. Cities in the east experience sunset sooner, with Kolkata observing Iftar around 5:44 PM. Meanwhile, Hyderabad breaks the fast at 6:26 PM, Bengaluru at 6:31 PM and Ahmedabad at 6:47 PM.
These timings may appear simple, but for those observing Ramadan they carry deep meaning. Fasting during this month is regarded as an act of devotion and self-discipline and it is considered one of the core practices of the Islamic faith. Every day of the month offers believers another opportunity to strengthen faith, practice compassion and support those in need.
As Ramadan moves toward its final stretch, communities around the world continue this shared rhythm of dawn meals, daily fasting, prayer and sunset gatherings. Stay with us for continuing coverage and updates on Ramadan observances and global stories that matter.
