Gifts Are Given and Received In Tajikistan

Walking around a neighborhood with a bag, knocking on neighbors' doors, and asking for sweets is something that many people would associate with Halloween. And while they do a similar thing in Tajikistan, this isn't for the same reasons. During Ramadan, kids dress up in their finest clothes and knock on doors in order to spread joy throughout the month of Ramadan, sing songs, and collect gifts from their friends and family. And as you can imagine, it's a very popular Ramadan tradition.

When they can finally break their fast, the Muslims of Tajikistan tend to drink their favorite beverage, which is a mixture of tea and milk. They also eat many traditional Ramadan dishes to fill their stomachs before fasting once more.
