Eid-ul-Fitr 2026: When will schools remain closed for the festival?

Schools and colleges across India are expected to observe a holiday for Eid-ul-Fitr around March 20 or March 21, 2026, depending on the crescent moon sighting that marks the end of Ramadan. The festival concludes a month of fasting and prayer, and institutions typically confirm the holiday shortly before the celebration due to the lunar-based Islamic calendar.
