Korite

Today ended the month long fasting of Ramadan and all my neighbors were out early sweeping their houses and preparing for the days events. The men go to the mosque early in the morning while the women stay home to prepare the breakfast, typically lait caitya (porridge). The men, all dressed in their new traditional clothes, return to ask for pardon from each of their neighbors. The main meal of chicken is served in the afternoon followed by attya tea, dessert and a local fruit drink. Once the meal is finished the kids, dressed in their new outfits, visit all of the neighbors and ask for money (similar to trick-or-treat).

The following pictures are of the family below me and neigborhood kids.
