The first day of Shawwal, the tenth month in the Islamic lunar calendar, is when Eid ul-Fitr is observed. The moon sighting, which has long been a part of Islamic culture, makes the celebration extremely significant. Prophet Muhammad is said to have waited for reports of crescent moon sightings since they heralded the start of a new month.
Meanwhile, Eid-ul-Fitr preparations are going on Mohammed Ali Road in Mumbai.
The atmosphere was lively as people poured into stores to purchase apparel, candies, and dry fruits in preparation for the happy event.
