The Ramzan shopping at Charminar reached its crescendo with the Eid ul Fitr scheduled later this week. People from across the country are visiting the old city to get a feel of the Ramzan month ambiance that prevails in and around a 3 km radius of the historic monument.
In the last two days, shoppers and tourists thronged the shops and roadside stalls to buy the merchandise sold coinciding with the Eid ul Fitr and taking breaks, trooped into eateries, restaurants, and food stalls to relish the Ramzan delicacies.
The eateries selling ‘sheek kebab’, ‘pathar ka ghosth’, ‘kheema and chicken rolls’, and the popular haleem reported brisk business. “On Saturdays tourists drop in to enjoy the weekend here.
With Ramzan month, it is like a double bonanza for them as many purchase clothes and articles besides having some lip-smacking food,” said Syed Junaid, a food stall owner at Hussainialam.
