Rise and shine, it's Eid al-Fitr! Pictured here is the spiritual submission of devotees at Jama Masjid, Delhi. A festival observed by Muslims worldwide, Eid al-Fitr marks the completion of the month-long fasting period of Ramadan. Ramadan holds profound significance in the Muslim religion, as it serves as a time of introspection and spiritual growth.

Eid is a widely celebrated public holiday in India, commencing with the sighting of the new moon on Chand Raat, the night before the main festivities. As dusk approaches, bustling markets become focal points as people shop for new clothes and gifts before preparing delicious dishes at home. The culinary delights of Eid, including sheer khurma, biryani, and seviyan, entice the palate with their rich flavours and aromas. The next morning, followers gather at mosques or Eidgahs for Eid Namaz, offering Eid zakat, an act of charity, before returning home. As the final echoes of prayers drift into the night sky, the festivities come to a close, with the promise of cherished memories to look back on.
