The festival of Eid-Ul-Fitr is at the door step and will be observed on May 24. The people of Bhopal are busy in the preparation for Eid-ul-Fitr, but this time in a different way. The campiagns #Eidathome #SaynotoEidshopping are trending on social media from long.
Even the Bhopalites are in the favour of no Eid Shopping. As the campiagns are trending on social media, the people of Muslim Community are contributing their bit too.
With these ongoing campiagns, the Bhopalites have vowed to help the needy and poor instead of buying new clothes and stuff for eid.
The fashionistas are coming up with different ideas to make thier Eid Style 2020 a unique one. The girls are teaming up thier old dresses with each other giving it a different look. Sadia Khan, a fahionista and a teacher at The Sanskar Valley School says, "I am all set for this eid as I am matching my clothes with different look. I am taking my khadi wear with different style of duppatta, a red one, teaming it up with my black metal jewellery giving myself a traditional indo-western look."
The celebrity designer of city, Mumtaz Khan while supporting this idea said, "People have decided that no shopping for this because so many people have lost jobs, so many poor labourers don't have food. So the saving would help poors".
Elaborating further, he said, "As far as clothes are concerned for eid, everybody has old good clothes which are as good as new. So people should peep in their wardrobes chose the best clothes for eid and chose some for poor relatives neighbours." Women can go for contrast dress they choose dupatta from different suit and contrast trouser, salwar,pallavi,pyjama,skirt could be teamed up and your diffrent look is ready, he added.
Shahnawaz, a boutique owner said, "We have many pending orders which cannot be completed in four days. So I just suggest people to look for something unique in your wardrobe for this eid."
Though after the announcement of lockdown 4, few shops are permitted to open in the market, yet minimal footfall was observed in city market. Due to the outbreak of serious pandemic Corona Virus, all the shops were shutdown.
Not only this, even for dishes, the people are going veg this time. The people will be preparing dishes including dahi vada, chole kulcha, and paneer. The Eid of 2020 will surely be different and unique one.
