Eid celebrations across India |
Muslims across India celebrated Eid-ul-Fitr with exuberance and religious fervour, marking the end of the holy month of Ramzan. Ramzan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, is observed as a fasting period by Muslims all across the globe. During this time, they abstain from food and water from 30 minutes before the sunrise to sunset. The fasting ends on the occasion of Eid. After offering the Eid namaaz, families, friends and neighbours congregate together and exchange pleasantries. The festivity is marked with the preparation of a special dish of “sheer-korma”, a sweet preparation of milk, vermicelli and dry fruits. In India, members of the community gathered together early morning to offer the special Eid prayers at mosques post which the joyful celebrations began. Other communities wished Muslim brethren an auspicious Eid.
