Id-ul-fitr means the festival of the breaking of the fast. The end of the period of privation and self-aberration is attended with joy and festivities and prayers are offered to God in thanks for the strength He has given to his servants who perform these religious requirements.
Thus Id-ul-fitr is the festival Ramadan (the popular and somewhat inaccurate term is Ramzan Id and common people pronounce it as Ramjan Id). The Id prayer is held at Id-Gah and other big grounds and attended by a large congregation of Muslims and the namaz is led by an Imam. Muslims convulse from all directions in procession, neatly dressed to say their prayer and after it is over, they fraternize with each other irrespective of their rank and position in life.
The women stay at home during the prayers and engage themselves in serving food and drink to guest. Sewai, a sweet preparation, is popular on this occasion.
