The next. month following Ramzan is called Shawwal. On the first of Shawwal is celebrated Id-ul-fitr. It is a festival of great cheer, rejoicing and festivity. Throughout India it is observed with great enthusiasm, fervour and preparation. On this day people wear new and best clothes, shoes and offer mass namaz in Idgah and other mosques. After namaz there is a religious lecture from Imam and then they greet and embrace one another warmly. Hindus also greet and embrace their Muslim friends in fraternal spirit.

The whole day of Id is spent in festivity and exchange of sweets, good wishes and visits.
