Muslims fast and pray during the holy month of Ramzan leading up to Eid. The walk will provide a first-hand experience to all to see the breaking of the roza.

“The walkers will be told interesting stories about Islam, the importance of roza, Ramzan and many interesting things related to the festival. This walk will enable walkers to witness how the city prepares itself for its most eagerly awaited festival,” a release from Itihaas, the Indian Traditions and Heritage Society, working for education of tangible and intangible heritage, said.

The walkers will also be treated with an iftaar, the Ramzan feast, the food for which would be cooked by one of the traditional cooks of Purani Dilli.

People aged eight to 80 can participate for a fee, the organisers said adding, there would be a minimum of two walks during the Ramzan period before Eid, that falls on August 31, this year.
