Alhamdulillah, everyone. I'm here with my entry for the third week of the Engagement Challenge, wishing all my Steemit friends the best of luck. I think it's really intriguing this time. This year, "National Festival" is the selected theme. Every country has a national festival that is widely celebrated, according to that nation's culture. I will use a challenge question to talk about my nation's "National Festival" today.

What is the national festival of your country? How did it start

A festival is a joyful event when we express our happiness. Festivals are a special way to make people happy in a social or familial context of a country. Day-based celebrations are observed differently in different countries. considering that I live in a Muslim country and that I am a Muslim. Eid is the national holiday in my country. Eid is the biggest holy holiday for Muslims. In my nation, we celebrate Eid twice a year.
Muslims fast during the month of Ramadan. During the month of Ramadan, in Arabic, people observe fasting. They commemorate Eid ul Fitr, the occasion of breaking the fast from the first day of Ramadan until the last day of the month, on the first day of Shawwal.
Eid ul Azha is observed on the tenth day of the month of Zilhaj. Today is devoted to giving up. Many people refer to it as the Eid of Qurbani at times. In addition, some of the flesh from the sacrificed animal is given to the underprivileged relatives.

How is this festival celebrated? Are there any special rules for celebrating it?

We hold a number of festivities to honor the religious festivals observed by the Muslim community. As I indicated earlier, we celebrate two Eids. In our culture, the two Eids are celebrated in various ways. Before the day of Eid arrives, we observe a month-long fast during the first Eid-ul-Fitr. On this day, men leave their homes early to give prayers and feast on sweets. A very delicious homemade traditional meal is also prepared. On the day of Eid ul Fitr, a family get-together is organized to extend the joy of the holiday to everyone.
We also give up our priceless belongings on Eid ul Azha in an effort to gain Allah's favor. On this Eid, we give halal animal sacrifices for Allah's sake and the majesty of sacrifice. Despite the distinctions between the two norms, the overall objective is to celebrate the happiness of the rich and the poor together.

Are there any special outfits or foods for celebrating your national festival?

In observance of our national festival, women should wear salwar suits and sarees, and men should wear pajamas and Punjabi. As new styles of clothing enter the market, so do fashion trends. Our happiness was heightened by their new attire.
Food products are very appealing these days. As part of the ongoing tradition of our national celebration, unique foods and national desserts are cooked today. For breakfast, we get a sweet delicacy called semai. Semai is one of its famous dishes during our holidays. Our celebrations would not be complete without food, especially beef, biryani, sada polao, and khichuri roast chicken.

Tell us about your favorite memory from celebrating your national festival.

I have many fond recollections of taking part in national events in my earlier years. My memories of my early years were more positive. When I was younger, my sisters and I would go to my grandmother's house together. I used to go there to celebrate Eid with a large number of my aunts and cousins who used to stay. Some memories will never fade.
like what they're wearing. At the period, it was customary to regard apparel as out of style if it was worn before one's day. When I was younger, I used to buy them clothes and hide them. I used to write cards to all of my cousins in the days leading up to Eid. On this day, too, I used to meet every elder in the house. On the day of Eid, everyone would then give us Idi, and at the conclusion of the day, we would discuss who had received the most Idi. Yes, those carefree childhood days were very beautiful. After growing up, I have not experienced the same level of happiness as I did in my youth.
