Festivals are extraordinary events that the community celebrates every year. In India, there are many festivals. Eid is one of the festivals celebrated by Muslims. This month we celebrated Eid al-Fitr. Eid ul-Fitr is celebrated to mark the end of the holy month of Ramadan when Muslims fast from dawn to dusk. The sighting of the crescent moon is crucial to determining the precise date of this festival. In the morning we give rice as a gift to our neighboring houses. On this day a specific prayer is performed. As an obligatory act of charity, money is paid to the poor and the needy (Zakat-ul-Fitr) before performing the Eid prayer. After performing the prayer, everyone goes to each other’s houses and greets each other. They give each other juices and snacks to welcome them. Kids get Eidi (money) from the elders.
