As the sun sets on the first day of Ramadan, devotees gather near Fashion Street in Mumbai's Churchgate area to break their fast
The streets around the Videsh Sanchar building, now known as Tata Telecommunications, witness a serene moment as worshippers sit together for iftar, marking the beginning of the holy month
From dawn to dusk, devotees observe ‘roza’ (fast), abstaining from food and water as an act of faith and discipline
At sunset, the faithful break their first fast of the month with dates and water, following a long-standing tradition rooted in Islamic teachings
The gathering at Fashion Street reflects the spirit of unity and community, as people sit side by side sharing food and prayers
Ramadan is not only about fasting but also about strengthening compassion, patience and devotion through increased prayer and charity
