Eid-ul-Fitr, which is also called Meethi Eid, is one of the important festivals for the Muslim community across the globe.
It marks the end of the holy month of Ramzan when people observe fast from dawn to dusk and offer prayers.
This year, Eid-ul-Fitr will be celebrated on May 22, though the date can vary from region to region according to the Moon sighting.
Eid-ul-Fitr is observed on the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month in the Islamic calendar. As it is celebrated after the culmination of the fasting month, people enjoy the day by hosting feasts and inviting friends and families.
On Eid-ul-Fitr, Muslims begin the day by offering special Eid prayers in the morning hours.
Usually, the prayers are held at mosques or at open grounds where a large number of people gather to mark this day.
Following this, everyone wishes “Eid Mubarak” to each other while exchanging hugs and greetings.
