Today is the much-anticipated Eid-ul-Fitr (Eid-al-Fitr) festival in India (May 14, 2021). Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and North America, which began fasting one day before Indians, will celebrate Eid on May 13, 2021, respectively. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic’s second deadly wave in the region, festivities were kept low-key, and coronavirus protocol was implemented. Muslim clerics have also encouraged people to live in compliance with the times and celebrate Eid privately this year. Let’s have a look at how the country celebrated Eid, which marks the close of the holy month of Ramadan, or Ramzan according to the Islamic calendar.
