If Delhi roars, Lucknow whispers.
Here, Eid feels like silk. Like slow-cooked kebabs and conversations held in the shade of courtyards.

One minute you’re in a peaceful trance walking barefoot along the Haji Ali Dargah causeway, and the next you’re devouring nalli nihari at Mohammed Ali Road, shoulder to shoulder with strangers who feel like cousins.

Mumbai during Eid is a flavor bomb with a spiritual core. It’s qawwalis echoing into the waves. It’s lights strung like pearls above food stalls. It’s the city of dreams praying together.

This city doesn’t shout its Eid. It reflects it.
