Eid is celebrated on the first day of the Shawwal month of the Islamic calendar after the end of the month of Ramadan. It is also called Eid-ul-Fitr.

Sweet Eid is known for vermicelli
Eid-ul-Fitr is also called Sweet Eid. On this day people wear new clothes and feed each other vermicelli. According to Muslim religious beliefs, Prophet Hazrat Muhammad won the Battle of Badr in 624 AD. In the happiness of this, he celebrated Eid-ul-Fitr and sweetened the mouth of the people. Therefore, Muslims make sweet vermicelli and feed each other on this day. Zakat i.e. giving charity on the occasion of Eid is also very important.
