There are many national festivals in our country. Some are religious festivals, some are secular and some are historical. We observe these festivals with ecstasy.
Eid-ul-fitr is the greatest religious festival of the Muslims. It is observed at the end of the fasting month of Ramadan. On this day, they offer Eid prayers. They give charities to the poor so that they also can enjoy the day. After the prayer, people embrace one another to express their fraternity, friendship and fellow-feeling.
Another important festival of the Muslims is Eid-ul-Azha. On this day after the Eid prayers, people slaughter their sacrificial animals and distribute meat to the neighbors, the relatives and the poor. This is also a very happy and significant religious festival.

Among these festivals, we may a mention the Durga Puja, the Saraswati Puja, the Laxmi Puja and the Kali Puzz. On these occasions, the Hindus invite the people of all communities to share their joy with them.
