Srinagar: With the holy month of Ramadan coming to an end, the streets of the Kashmir valley were bustling with activity on Tuesday as residents were preparing for the upcoming Eid Al-Fitr celebrations.
From the traditional markets surrounding the Jamia Masjid to the modern shopping centers, markets throughout the Valley have came alive with excitement as people shopped for the festive occasion.
“For us, Eid is not just about shopping; it’s a time when the entire community comes together to celebrate,” said Mohammad Oman, reflecting on the significance of the occasion.
“It’s an opportunity for us to showcase our culture through our traditional attire and customs,” he added.
Excitement was palpable among the younger generation, with many eagerly anticipating traditional practices like applying mehndi. “I always apply mehndi on Eid and at weddings of relatives. I’m very happy because Eid is here,” shared a young girl enthusiastically.
