The month-long festival of breaking the fast happens as soon as the new moon is visible at the end of the fasting month. All the Muslims fast, pray, worship, and feast at night. This year the fasting month will last for twenty-nine days and will be rejoicing all over the world by approximately 1.6 billion Muslims. Ramzan is a huge festival for every Muslim member. The month of May begins with Ramadan and ends with Eid-ul-Fitr at the start of June, though the dates vary every year. People also present nice gifts for each other.

    Men and boys prefer skull caps mainly while praying inside the shrine, so designer caps are accessible too. These white skull caps cost Rs 40. Other caps with a slight touch of design are pricey and costs at around Rs 250 per piece. The handkerchiefs or hazzi rumals with prayer mats have become quite trendy. Men prefer buying new caps because of its low costs. The hazzi rumals are equally in demand as men use them to cover their heads and also for wiping off sweat from their faces.
