Muharram holiday depends on moon sighting

Muharram is one of the four sacred months in Islam and is observed as a public holiday in India. The final date of the holiday is subject to the sighting of the moon, which marks the beginning of the Islamic month. If the moon is not sighted on the expected date, Muharram may be observed the following day.

All schools, banks, post offices, government offices, and some private offices will remain closed on the day of Muharram. The closure applies to most parts of India.
