The most important festival for Hindus is Deepawali, for Christians, Christmas and for Muslims, it is Eid-al-Fitr. Eid al-Fitr means breaking the barriers and joining in the celebration with groups of different traditions. On the day of Eid people meet, greet each other, exchange gifts and sweets.
Eid or other festivals are basically a part of the social culture. Festivals are not meant just for the exchange of gifts. They are more than that. After getting dressed and ready for the day, Muslims gather for prayers in mosques or outdoor locations. They join their palms face upwards in a gesture known as “dua” to thank Allah for his infinite blessings. Reading pages from the Islamic Holy Book, the Quran, forms a crucial part of the Eid prayers. The rest of the ceremonies are generally held privately with families and friends.
It is one of the most joyful days in the Islamic calendar, with mosques and streets filled with color and gaiety. As in every important Indian festival, henna or Mehendi also forms an important part of Eid celebrations as well. Though the main Eid is celebrated on one day, the festival inevitably continues for two more days.
