Coming
with the new moon, this festival marks the end of Ramzan, the ninth
month of the Muslim year. It was during this month that the holy
Koran was revealed. Muslims keep a fast every day during this month
and on the completion of the period, which is decided by the appearance
of the new moon, Id-ul-Fitr is celebrated with great eclat. Prayers
are offered in mosques and Idgahs and elaborate festivities are
held.
