Shopping continues till late in the night with the people tasting 'haleem', a special delicacy of Ramadan prepared by hundreds of hotels and roadside eateries. The worshippers throng the mosques for prayers till around midnight. The activity resumes in the wee hours of the day with people waking up for 'sahr' or pre-dawn meals followed by the morning prayers.
Communal harmony will be in full display at 'Iftar' parties hosted by political and non-political organizations and individuals.
The president, the vice president, the prime minister and other ministers at the centre, as also governors and chief ministers in states and leaders of various political groups, host 'iftar' parties every year.
Islamic scholars say Ramadan is a spring of good deeds and Muslims thank the Almighty for revealing the holy Quran, which is a complete guidance not just for Muslims but the entire humanity.
