After a month of fasting and abstinence, and enjoying bowls of fruit, dates and haleem at night during the holy month of Ramzan, Hyderabad on Wednesday evening began to gear up for Eid-ul-Fitr.
As soon as the first siren was sounded from atop masjids, Muslims broke their fast on the iftar dastar and then proceeded for Maghrib (evening prayers). The second siren went off signalling that it was chand raat (Eid eve).
Chand Mubarak greetings were exchanged. Social media too was abuzz with Chand Mubarak messages and similar greetings.
