Caption : Children greeting each other on Id-ul-Fitr at Jama Masjid in Delhi on November 26, 2003. It was in the month of Ramzan that the Holy Quran was revealed to Prophet Mohammed, who laid down the general recommendations for fasting during the month. On the day of Id, men and children go to mosques for the special Id prayers while women pray at home. Muslims invite relatives and friends, including those from other communities, to relish the special "shir korma" (a sweet dish of seviyyan, dates, and milk). Photo: Sandeep Saxena
