Observers this year are looking forward to a return to some type of normality after the pandemic wreaked havoc last year, but others are still struggling to cope with the economic strain.


 

Ramadan is a month of spiritual connection and unification where observers fast from sunrise to sunset. 

 

 

The COVID-19 pandemic  meant traditional festivities had to be scaled back last year.

 

Indoor gatherings of more than five were banned in most states across the country, meaning traditions like hosting iftars and gathering at restaurants were not possible.

 

But as most Ramadan celebrations revert back to normal this year, the business side of things is still struggling.
