Eid-ul-Fitr Indian Festivals At A Glance

Eid-ul-Fitr is  the biggest festival of Muslims. It is celebrated across the world with a lot of fervor, more so because it is celebrated after the holy month of Ramadan, where followers of Islam fast for 30 days where they do not eat or drink during the day, but only eat twice during Sehri, which is right before sunrise, and Iftaar which is right after sunset. During the month of Ramadhan, Muslims also do charity and follow a lot of discipline. 

After 30 days, according to the sighting of the moon, known as Chand Raat, Eid is celebrated the next day. On the day of Eid, people go to Eidgaah to pray, make sweets like Sevaiyaan, (giving the name "Meethi Eid" to this festival") and give Eidi to little ones. At several places Eid Fairs are held where people especially children do a lot of stall hopping. 

Eid-ul-Fitr is a festival of happiness, joy and good will. To know more about it, listen to the Podcast.
