In summary, a question was raised about the celebration of Islamic holy months and the timing of Ramadan in different countries. It was noted that according to Saudi Arabia's declaration, Eastern countries like Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan should begin Ramadan one day earlier. However, the question was raised as to why they actually begin one day later. It was questioned how Riyadh, being three hours later than Dhaka, could see the moon earlier. The poster also expressed frustration with the perceived ridiculousness of this situation. In response, a resource was provided for further information on the topic and it was clarified that the poster's initial title was referring to the end of Ramadan, not the beginning.

Religions tend to do LOTS of ridiculous things. Why would one more bother you?

There is all the information about all regions around earth, including times, dates, and more.

The title of your post, "celebration of eid ul fitr in east" refers to the end of Ramadan, not the start of it. See:
