Eid
2023:
Muslims
around
the

celebrating
Eid

to
a
close.
This
festival
signifies
the
end
of
the
sacred
period

and
the
start
of
Shawwal,
the
tenth
month

On

day,
also
known
as
Eid
al-Fitr
or
Id
ul-Fitr,
Muslims
express
gratitude
to
Allah
for
the
holy
Quran.
Eid
holds
great
importance
as
it
signals
the
end
of
a
month-long
fasting
period
from
sunrise
to
sunset.
Preparations
for
Eid
ul-Fitr
include
shopping,
home
decorations,
and
purchasing
presents
for
loved
ones.
In
India,
Eid
is
one
of
the
most
significant
festivals
that
Muslims
celebrate
with
immense
joy
and
happiness.

Tiwari,
mentioned,
"Having
several
friends
who
observe
a
fast
during
the
Holy
month
of
Ramadan,
I
celebrate
Eid
with
them
usually.
If
I
get
a
day
off,
I
look
forward
to
celebrating
Eid
with
my
friends.
I
also
have
several
memories
of
Eid
from
my
childhood.
From
countless
bowls
of
sheer
khurma
to
the
early
morning
wafts
of
biryani
and
joining
my
friends
for
Iftaris,
I
have
really
enjoyed
the
festivities
along
with
my
buddies
over
the
years
when
I
was
a
kid."

ON
CELEBRATING
RAMADAN
&
EID
ON
SETS
He
added,
"In
fact,
even
now,
on
the
sets
of
Main
Hoon
Aparajita,
I
leave
a
scene
midway
to
join
my
cast
and
crew
for
Iftari.
We
all
sit
down
every
day
in
the
evening
and
have
a
wonderful
chat
with
one
another
while
feasting
on
some
yummy
food.
Such
memories
are
really
wonderful
to
cherish
and
here's
wishing
one
and
all
Eid
Mubarak."
