Jama Masjid of New Delhi is abuzz with fasting Muslims each evening in the month of Ramazan as people come in groups for breaking their fast. The mosque, as the rest of the religious places, had worn a somewhat desolate look in the past two years due to the Covid restrictions. As the Ramzan enters its last phase, the rush to the mosque is increasing by each day.
