A "dry day" is when the sale and consumption of alcohol are legally restricted, common in many countries like India, to honor religious or cultural events and during elections. Muharram 2024 begins on July 8th, marking the start of the Islamic lunar calendar. It's a significant time for Muslims, especially on Ashura (July 17th), a day of mourning and reflection. Dry days are observed in Mumbai, Delhi, and many other cities.
