Which days will be holidays?

This time there will be two consecutive days off at the end of March. There will be public holidays on 30 and 31 March. 30 March is Friday and Eid-ul-Fitr will be celebrated on 31 March. During this time all government offices, banks and schools will remain closed. People can take advantage of this opportunity to spend time with their family or travel during the holiday.

Why is Eid-ul-Fitr celebrated?

Eid-ul-Fitr is a major and sacred festival of the Islamic calendar. It is celebrated after the end of the month of Ramadan. During Ramadan, Muslims have to fast for the whole day, which is a difficult but sacred practice for them. On the day of Eid, this fast ends and there is an atmosphere of happiness in the whole community. On this day people express gratitude to Allah, meet each other, distribute sweets and spread the message of peace and brotherhood in the society. The celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr is important from both social and religious point of view. This day is not just a day to end the fast, but it is an occasion to strengthen relationships with each other, spread awareness about Deen-Dharam and celebrate collectively.

Preparations are in full swing in cities and villages

Preparations for the festival of Eid-ul-Fitr are in full swing across the country. In Uttar Pradesh too, markets have started getting decorated, especially in Lucknow, Allahabad, Agra and other major cities. People visit mosques to offer Eid prayers, and then make this special day even more special by meeting their family and friends. Also, the tradition of giving sweets, food items, and Eidi also creates an atmosphere of joy among the people. This day brings a lot of joy especially for children, as they receive Eidi from their elders and wear new clothes.
