Kanpur: The new moon was clear in the sky. It was visible through the naked eyes. The thin line of the crescent moon was sparkling with whiteness.
Those who desired to view the new moon of the Hijri calendar tried to climb on the uppermost storey of the residential houses in Jajmau.
A kind of happiness was reflected on their faces as they found the sight of the sky. The presence of the new moon appeared to stay a little longer time, as was felt.
With the sighting of the fresh moon, the devout flocked to the nearby mosques to offer Taraweeh prayers in their respective localities.
These prayers are extra prayers for the month of Ramazan. The month is known for prayers and good deeds.
