context_page_description: Lebaran or Idul Fitri is the popular name for Eid al-Fitr in Indonesia and is one of the major national holidays in the country. Lebaran holiday officially lasts for two days in the Indonesian calendar, although the government usually declares a few days before and after the Lebaran as a bank holiday. Many individuals or families, especially Muslims take paid time off from their workplace during these days.
context_section_description: Other than shopping for typical food and kue kering (cookies) for Lebaran, Indonesians usually will buy and wear new clothes and footwear. Shopping malls and bazaars are usually filled with people to get things for Lebaran such as clothes, footwear, even food to serve days ahead of Idul Fitri, which creates a distinctive festive atmosphere throughout the country, along with traffic mayhem around shopping malls and marketplaces.
  Lebaran also creates special occasions for shopping that often generate seasonal retail business. As the result retail businesses will try to attracts shoppers with special Lebaran discounts, Lebaran-themed decorations, and playing joyous Lebaran-themed or Islamic musics in their stores. The festive shopping feel is quite similar with Christmas for Christians, however the things bought (usually fashion apparels), is rather for oneself, not as a gift. Many banks, government and private offices are closed for the duration of the Lebaran festivities.
