Today Eid, an important holy festival, is celebrated by Islam followers in India, Pakistan and other countries. It marks the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting in the ninth month of the Islamic year, and the start of a new moon. It is followed by celebrations of feasting and rejoicing. Muslims celebrate this festival by greeting each other, wishing each other good blessings, wearing new clothes and distributing gifts and sweets among neighbours and friends.
