Note
Muslim festivals are celebrated depnding on the local sightings
of the various phases of the moon, therefore the dates given above
are approximations. During the lunar month of Ramadan that precedes
Eid al-Fitr, Muslims feast at night and fast during the day. General
business patterns may be interrupted and several restaurants are
closed during the day, thre can also be restrictions on smoking
and drinking. Some disruption may continue into Eid al-Fitr itself.
Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha may last from 2 to 10 days, depending
on the region.
Buddhist festivals are also timed according to phases of the moon
and variations do occur. |
