Lunar Holidays: Eid-el-Fitr, Eid-el-Haj and Maulid Day are three Lunar Holidays that are determined by the sighting of the moon, which is usually done the night before the holiday is likely to commence (except for Maulid Day which is based on certain days after the sighting of the moon). Therefore, it is not possible to precisely pinpoint the exact beginning of each holiday.  Eid-el-Haj and Maulid Day are expected to fall when IST is on break.
