Eid al-Fitr or Eid-ul-Fitr is a major religious holiday observed by Muslims around the world that marks the conclusion of Ramzan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. The celebration commemorates the end of the 30 days of dawn-to-dusk fasting that Muslims observe throughout the month of Ramzan. With the celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr, the period of fasting and prayer comes to an end.
The market areas like Mominpura, Jaripatka, Sadar, Itwari and many more are flooded with shoppers for last minute shopping. Another important aspect of the festival is the Eid daawat. Hence, sumptuous spreads are being prepared in the city homes. The Mominpura area is usually a place where youngsters love to go at night to have mouth-watering snacks. The area is predominantly famous for the delicacies it offers, especially for the lovers of non-vegetarian food.
