Eid –ul- Fitr

Eid- ul- Fitr, popularly known as the "Festival of the Breaking of the Fast", occurs as soon as the new moon is sighted at the end of the month of fasting, namely Ramzan. Special food and delicacies are prepared for the day and are distributed to neighbors and friends.

Eid ul Fitr is the biggest Muslim festival. Eid is derived from the Arabic word ‘oud' or ‘the return' to signify, well, the return of Eid each year. The festival is significant as much for its timing as for its religious implications.

It is believed that the Koran was revealed to Prophet Mohammed in the month of Ramzan. Eid is celebrated with a ritual Namaz - prayer offering in a mosque, festive eating, exchange of gifts, donning of new clothes and dabbing of attar rose essence.

Fasting or Roza starts at sunrise and lasts until sunset. During this time no food or water is consumed.

Timing: Between April- June
