Hari Raya

“Eid al-fitr” known here in Malaysia as Hari Raya Aidilfitri or Hari Lebaran, is a religious celebration for muslims worldwide because it marks the end of Ramadan— which is our month-long dawn-to-sunset fasting. Here in Malaysia its considered a huge celebration and the whole country gets a week-long holiday for it:)the crochet-ish thing in the pic is a ketupat! its a rice cake thats packed inside a diamond shaped container made of woven palm leaf. as u can see, the image below is NOT woven palm leaf. it is in fact— a ribbon that my friend has woven to resemble a ketupat. we use it for decorating:p
