Eid al-Fitr is a joyous occasion where Muslims celebrate by dressing up in traditional clothes, preparing sweet dishes such as vermicelli and biryani, and exchanging gifts with family and friends. The day begins with a unique Salat, which includes two rakats and six Takbirs, and is usually performed in a congregation in a large hall or open ground. Women apply mehndi in their hands, and people greet each other by saying 'chand Mubarak' after spotting the new moon.
