Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar and is considered one of the holiest. During this month, Muslims worldwide observe sawm (fasting) - one of the five pillars of Islam - to honor this sacred time. The Ramadan rituals are typically followed for 29-30 days, from the first sighting of the crescent moon to the end. The sighting of the moon is crucial to determine the start and finish of the month of Ramadan.
Ramadan, the holy month, has commenced, and with it comes a time of celebration. Even though it is a period of prayer and devotion, snack time after the fast offers an opportunity to enjoy delicious food. During Ramadan, one can find vendors selling an array of mouthwatering Iftar foods, such as kebabs, samosas, biryani, nihari, seviyan, phirni, malpua, and others, on many streets and corners. After the prayers, people of all faiths can be seen flocking to these stalls and relishing in the tasty treats they offer.
