“Itr ki khushboo, sivayion ki mithaas, Naye naye kapde, haathon mein mehndi aur jeb mein dher saari eedi… Aisa hota hai humaare India mein Eid ka Tyohaar… “

Eid is a Muslim holy festival. There are two Eid holidays: Eid ul Fitr and Eid al Adha. The Hijri calendar, also known as the Islamic calendar, has 12 months but with 354 or 355 days.

First, let's discuss Eid ul Fitr. The fasting month of Ramadan comes to an end on Eid al-Fitr, which means "feast of the breaking of the fast." During this month, people fast which is also known as Roza. During Roza, Muslims do not consume anything during the day. They only eat Sehri in the morning before sunrise and Iftaari in the evening after sunset. Without the moon, Eid celebrations would be incomplete. The purpose of this month's fasting and worship is to get closer to Allah and to show compassion to those in need.

Eid ul Adha, Bakr, or Eid ul Zuha Eid means "festival of sacrifice." This festival takes place on the 10th day of Dhu'l-Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic calendar. Muslims all across the world celebrate Eid ul Adha to honor Prophet Ibrahim's (Abraham's) sacrifice, which he made following Allah's order as a believer in Him.

Muslims believe that God tested the Prophet by commanding him to sacrifice his firstborn son, Ismail (Ishmail). Ibrahim followed Allah’s commands and laid down his beloved son for sacrifice, but at the last moment, Ismail was replaced with a sheep. 

The completion of Hajj, a five-day pilgrimage to Mecca that every able-bodied Muslim is obligated to accomplish once in their lifetime, is also commemorated on Eid al Adha. The journey is said to cleanse the soul of sins and establish a spirit of equality, sisterhood, and brotherhood.

Men, women, and children dress up in their nicest attire for  Eid Ul Zuha, and wonderful dishes like Biryani and Kebabs are prepared in homes. Muslim families throw a feast and give out gifts to the less fortunate. Children are also given gifts known as "Eddie" in certain Muslim traditions.
