Muslims Prepare For Holy Fasting Month Of Ramadan In Kashmir
A street vendor sells apples at a market in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on February 16, 2026, ahead of the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan. The Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, and it is believed that the revelation of the first verse in the Koran occurs during its last 10 nights. Muslims celebrate it yearly by praying during the nighttime and abstaining from eating, drinking, and sexual acts during the period between sunrise and sunset. It is also a time for socializing, mainly in the evening after breaking the fast, and a shift of all activities to late in the day in most countries. Meanwhile, apple growers across Kashmir voice deep concern over the proposed India-United States interim trade agreement, warning that easier market access for American apples could sharply undercut local produce and threaten the backbone of the region's rural economy.
