It falls on the first day of Shawwal as per the Islamic Calendar and marks the ending of the sacred month of Ramadan, which is a month-long observation of strict fasting, prayers, community and reflection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A key tradition of Eid al-Fitr has to do with dates, which are not just a delicious treat but hold a place of significant traditional value during the festive occasion. Across various parts of the world, the feast of Eid al-Fitr starts by eating a date, which marks the end of fasting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Eid al-Fitr rituals and celebrations\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Chaand Raat<\/strong>: Muslims in South Asia observe Chaand Raat, which takes place on the last day of Ramadan. During this time, people gather in open fields with their loved ones to spot the crescent moon in the night sky with family and friends. After the moon sighting is done, the blessing of the Eid day is shared, and people indulge in some shopping for the grand day.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_156621\" style=\"width: 778px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-156621\" class=\"size-full wp-image-156621\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/chhad-rat-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Chhad rat\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/chhad-rat-1-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/chhad-rat-1-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-156621\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chhad rat<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Must Read :<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/festival-and-events\/eid-2025-traditions-and-rituals\/\"> Eid 2025: How Traditions and Rituals Make the Festival Special<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Zakat al-Fitr<\/strong>: It is a form of charity that every capable Muslim adult should give to the needy prior to the Eid prayer. It is seen as a way that enables everyone to take part in the Eid celebration without limitations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Salat al-Eid<\/strong>: It refers to the special prayers held by the Imam at the mosque or large open fields. Muslims in large numbers of the community gather together to take part in this prayer in the morning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exchanging greetings<\/strong>: After the prayer is complete, everyone embraces each other and exchanges greetings by uttering \u201cEid Mubarak\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Islamic calendar is established on lunar cycles, while the Gregorian calendar is based on solar cycles. Hence, Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr are both celebrated on different dates every year in terms of the Gregorian calendar.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Eid decoration ideas for home<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One way to prepare for Eid al-Fitr is to thoroughly clean the home and give it a shine for the guests to come on the grand day.

Here are some fun Eid decoration ideas you can try;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Festive entrance<\/strong>: Highlight the entrance of your home with subtle decorating to greet people coming in. Simple use of wreaths, colourful ribbons, flowers, etc., should do the trick.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fragrance<\/strong>: Your home should not only look but smell like the festive season. For this, you can use room fresheners or scented candles that have a delightful and welcoming fragrance. Avoid using fragrances that are too overwhelming.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check the table<\/strong>: The table is the most important part of the home during this festival as it is where everyone will gather to talk and munch on delicious food and drinks. Place an eye-catching or simple tablecloth, and use good cutlery and dinner set for the dinner. Also, try using traditional, decorated carpets for seating arrangements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Festive lights<\/strong>: The highlights of Eid al-Fitr home decorations are the festive lights. These simple LED light strips can enhance the appearance of your home tenfold. You can use some on the outside wall of your home as well as indoors.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eid al-Fitr is known as the lesser Eid, while Eid al-Adha is known as the Greater Eid.
