Ahead of Eid-ul-Fitr, residents of Ahmedabad will get an opportunity to soak into the Islamic culture through the streets of the old city and feast on lavish Iftaar platter.

Ahmedabad, in western India, is the largest city in the state of Gujarat.

India Heritage Walks by Sahapedia, a not-for-profit organisation, will host an ‘Iftaar Walk’ this Sunday starting from Jama Masjid, covering the streets of old Ahmedabad with a food tour and concluding at the same place.

The 3-km walk will be led by academic associate from Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad Nayan Jaiswal (26) who has partnered with Sahapedia.

Jaiswal had conducted the first such walk last year independently, highlighting the iftaari tradition or what signifies the break of daylong fast by Islam-practitioners.

While the walk is free, it promises savouring the ‘choicest kebabs, fried chicken, haleem and perhaps some faluda to cool down,’ for participants. The walk will cover a fry centre (kebab vendor) in Jamalpur and tandoor and falooda place in Chhipawad.
