Eid Mubarak

India is a country that is home to different religions, cultures, traditions, ethnicities, and practices. Due to this, the country observes several festivals throughout the year, Eid-ul-Fitr being one among them.

Eid-ul-Fitr, one of the most celebrated festivals in Islam, marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, a month when Muslims across the world hold fast from dawn to dusk. It signifies the beginning of the Shawwal month.

It is believed that the Holy Quran was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad during the month of Ramadan. So, Muslims consider this a holy month and hold fast from dawn to dusk and dedicate themselves to praying to Allah. Eid-ul-Fitr marks the end of this month.

Since they have refrained from eating during the day, Muslims plan elaborate meals for Eid-ul-Fitr. Feasts are organised in every Muslim household and dishes like pulao, saalan, biryani, haleem, nihari, kebabs, kofte, and much more are prepared. The big draws of this day are the classic seviyan, sheer korma, shahi tukda and phirni. Muslims dress up in new clothes and greet each other. Eid-ul-Fitr is a time for families to get together and devote themselves to prayer. Muslims visit mosques to pray under an open sky.
