Bank Holidays in Punjab during April

Eid al-Fitr, meaning the "Festival of Breaking Fast" in Arabic, is the first of two fundamental festivals in Islam. This celebration signifies the conclusion of Ramadan, the sacred month of fasting for Muslims. It is observed during the initial three days of Shawwāl, the 10th month of the Islamic calendar, recognizing that, due to the lunar calendar used in Islam, it may fall in any season of the year. Similar to Eid al-Adha, another significant Islamic festival, Eid al-Fitr is distinguished by the communal prayer (ṣalāt) performed at daybreak on its inaugural day. The occasion is marked by official receptions, private visits, friendly greetings, gift exchanges, donning of new clothes, and visits to the graves of relatives.

Rama Navami is a Hindu festival dedicated to commemorating the birth of Rama, one of the widely venerated deities in Hinduism and recognized as the seventh avatar of Vishnu. Within Hinduism, Rama is revered as a symbol of an ideal king and a virtuous human, embodying righteousness, good conduct, and virtue.
