Ramadan and Eid ul-Fitr
International artists are invited to judge the events, and at the event's conclusion, there are award ceremonies, gala performances, and a spectacular firework show. This is without a doubt one of Central Asia's most outstanding cultural festivals.
Fasting over a long period of time and then suddenly having a large feast day is a distinguishing element of Eid al-Fitr, which is similar to how Roman Catholics and certain Protestants celebrate Easter following a 40-day Lenten fast.
This year's Ramadan and Eid experience is one-of-a-kind. Each country is commemorated in its own unique way. Uzbekistan is one of the countries where the Ulema Council has made suggestions on how to celebrate Eid this year. Uzbekistan has a population of 34 million people, with Muslims constituting 88 percent of the population. Fasting for Ramadan is known as "Sawm" and is one of Islam's Five Pillars. It is as much a test of willpower as anything else, and the Eid celebrations that follow are a reward for the faithful. Ramadan is a test of self-control, but Eid al-Fitr is a celebration of joy, accomplishment, and thanksgiving.
