Ramadan In Kashmir, India
A Kashmiri Muslim devotee reads the holy Quran during the Islamic holy fasting month of Ramadan at a mosque in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on February 26, 2026. The Muslims' 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 Quran 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. (Photo by Firdous Nazir/NurPhoto)
