        Ramadan (Ramzan is the ninth month of the Islamic Calendar. Muslims worldwide observe this as a month of fasting. This annual observance is regarded as one of the five pillars of Islam. The month lasts 29–30 days based on the visual sightings of the crescent moon. The word Ramadan comes from the Arabic root ramida or ar-ramad, which means scorching heat or dryness. 

        Each day before dawn, Muslims observe a pre-fast meal called suhoor. At sunset, families hasten for the fast-breaking meal known as iftar. Dates are usually the first food to break the fast; according to tradition. Also the main items served would be cut fresh fruits and fruit juice along with fried dishes like samosas, pakodas etc.The spread of 'iftar' can be grand sometimes with dishes varying from vegetarian to non-veg dishes along with a variety of juices.
