RAMADAN EID
Among the Meitei Pangals (the Manipuri Muslims), Ramadan Eid is the most important festivals.
Prior to Eid, the Meitei Pangals observe a rigorous period of fasting when they abstain from any of the urges of the flesh.
The devout Muslims don’t even drink a single drop of water. They break this fast after the announcement of their main priests that the crescent moon with the pole star is observed in the sky.
