Eid ul-Fitr marks the end of Ramazan, the Islamic holy month of fasting, which is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. Devotees celebrate the breaking of the fast on this day and gather with friends and families for festive meals and exchanging gifts. Ramazan, the ninth month of the Muslim calendar, is one of the most sacred times as it is believed that the Quran came down to the earth from heaven for the very first time. (ANI)
