Eid-ul-Fitr 2026: India Celebrates Today Amid Ronaldo’s Viral Wish

The wait is finally over! Across the length and breadth of India, from the historic streets of Old Delhi to the buzzing lanes of Mumbai, Eid-ul-Fitr 2026 is being celebrated with immense fervor today, Saturday, March 21.
While Kerala and parts of Kashmir began their festivities yesterday, the rest of the nation has joined in today following the grand sighting of the Shawwal moon last evening.
A Morning of Prayer and Peace
Massive congregations were seen at iconic landmarks like the Jama Masjid (Delhi) and Taj-ul-Masajid (Bhopal) for the morning Eid Gah prayers. This year’s sermons focused heavily on global peace and community resilience, reflecting the current geopolitical atmosphere.
The "Ronaldo Effect" Still Trending
Even on Saturday morning, the biggest talking point on social media remains Cristiano Ronaldo. His "Eid Mubarak" post from last night—featuring him in a stunning traditional white thobe—has now crossed 40 million likes. It has set a fashion trend, with many young fans in India seen sporting similar embroidered kurtas for their Eid prayers today.
Eidi Meets the Box Office: The 'Dhurandhar 2' Wave
This Eid, the traditional "Eidi" for many Bollywood fans is a trip to the cinema.
  • Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 is witnessing unprecedented footfall today.
  • After its record-breaking Friday opening, trade analysts predict Saturday will see even higher numbers as families head out for post-prayer celebrations.
  • Salman Khan also delighted fans by appearing on his balcony this morning to wave to the massive crowds gathered outside Galaxy Apartments.
2026 Festive Trends: What’s New?
  1. Gourmet Iftars & Brunches: The classic Biryani and Sheer Khurma remain king, but there’s a rising trend of "Fusion Eid Brunches" in cafes across Bengaluru and Mumbai.
  2. Digital Eidi: UPI transactions have hit a festive peak this morning as elders opt for "Instant Eidi" transfers to the younger generation.
  3. Eco-Conscious Gifting: Gift hampers this year have gone "green," with sustainable packaging and organic treats being the top choice for home visits.
Eid Mubarak to All!
Eid is a beautiful reminder of the strength found in patience and the joy found in sharing. Whether you are spending the day feasting with family or catching the latest blockbuster, we wish you a day filled with light and laughter.
