It is the sign for both the beginning and the end of the Ramadhan i.e the Eid.

actually chand raat refers to the night new moon is sighted, representing the start of new lunar month. Chand raat has become more popularly associated with beginning of ramadan and for eid. Just like full moon night in each month on the 14th of the lunar month, chand raat is actually the first of the lunar month.

In Islam (as per Islamic calender), Chand is to be sighted at the end of every month (i.e., before the beginning of new month). So it is sighted before the month of Ramadan so as to find out 1st day of Ramadan and also before Eid-ul-Fitr (which is celebrated on 1st of Shawwal, a new month).
