It’s the time of the year families come together from across the country to celebrate the holy month and share the bond of solidarity while undergoing‎ fasting, prayers, and sharing of good deeds. Following the whole month of maintaining their self-resistance from basic needs and urges, comes a time for celebration.

Hari Raya Puasa marks the end of the fasting month, Ramadan. The smell of burning lantern oil gets stronger day by day as we come together to seek for forgiveness and strengthening the bonds among family and friends.
