Muslims around the world are celebrating the holy month of Ramadan. Considered to be the most pious month of the year, Muslim people fast throughout the day without a drop of water or a morsel of food. Later, in the evening, they break the fast after the prayers and with a special meal called 'iftaar'. Iftaar is basically a lavish spread where friends and families come together enjoy various types of sweet and savoury foods including snacks, dry fruits, chaat, pakoda and more. At some places, people even organize iftar party and mark the occasion with utmost grandeur. But due to the sudden surge in Covid cases, iftaar party is a distant dream for all.
