Eid is a public holiday in [[India]]. The holiday begins after the sighting of the new moon on [[Chaand Raat|Chand Raat]]. On that evening, people head to markets to finish their shopping for Eid, for clothing and gifts, and begin preparing their food for the next day. Traditional Eid food often includes [[Biryani|biriyani]], ''[[sheer khurma]],'' and ''[[Sevai|sivayyan]]'', a dish of fine, toasted sweet [[vermicelli]] noodles with milk and dried fruit, among other regionally-specific dishes.<ref>{{cite web |title=Food Events&nbsp;– Eid Celebrations |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/news_and_events/events_eid.shtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100111064141/http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/news_and_events/events_eid.shtml |archive-date=11 January 2010 |website=BBC Food Online}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Chatterjee |first=Priyadarshini |date=2020-05-23 |title=The Indian Eid feast goes beyond biryani and sevaiyan |url=https://www.livemint.com/mint-lounge/features/a-very-indian-eid-11590161532702.html |access-date=2022-04-18 |website=mint |language=en |archive-date=27 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220627130017/https://www.livemint.com/mint-lounge/features/a-very-indian-eid-11590161532702.html |url-status=live}}</ref> Women and girls also put [[henna]] on each others' hands.
