After the month-long dawn-to-dusk fasts, people made a beeline for eateries and restaurants selling lip-smacking dishes and also visited their neighbours, friends and relatives and shared sweet milk-based desserts like ‘sewai’ and ‘kheer’.

Eid ul-Fitr is celebrated on the first day of Shawwal, the 10th month of the Islamic lunar calendar. The festival is of great significance due to the moon sighting which has been part of Islamic culture for a long time. It is believed that Prophet Muhammad used to wait for news of sightings of the crescent moon as it indicated the beginning of a new month.

The sighting of the crescent moon marked the end of Ramzan on Wednesday, and the beginning of Eid al-Fitr, one of the most significant festivals in the Islamic calendar. Ending the holy month of Ramzan and starting a new spiritual journey also marks the beginning of a new Islamic year.
