Muslims around the world celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr to mark the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramzan.

Ramzan is observed as a month of fasting to commemorate the first revelation of the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad, according to Islamic beliefs.

The ninth month of the Islamic calendar, Ramzan involves rigorous month-long fasting by Muslims.

During this month, Muslims eat Sehri, a pre dawn meal and break their fast with Iftar in the evening. They do not consume food or water throughout the day from dawn to dusk.

Eid-ul-Fitr is celebrated on the first day of Shawwal or the 10^th month of the Islamic lunar calendar.

Delicacies including Seviyan (Vermicelli), ‘Sheerkurma’ and Biryani are prepared to celebrate among friends and relatives.
