RAMZAN ID : Fasting And Feasting

All over the world, Muslims of all sects celebrate Ramzan as the most sacred and holy month in their year. They observe an austere lifestyle of restraint and duty, fasting from sunrise to sunset each day, not even drinking water. Once the moon is sighted over the horizon, their daily fast ends and all-night feasting and merriment is the norm till the new day dawns.

Indian Muslims celebrate Ramzan nights and Id itself, with feasts called lftar, which include spicy biryanis, pulaos, meat and chicken kababs, curries, rose-scented sweets and kewra-flavoured kulfis and faloodas. Idi or presents of money, are given to young people by their family elders, conveying their blessings. Ramzan is a month of prayer and the remembrance of the teachings of the Koran and the mercy of the Almighty.
