Surat (Gujarat): As Muslims around the world celebrate Ramzan, Gujarat's Surat stepped out with a market for the holy month. In this Islamic month, the Rander area of Surat serves delicious dishes to the foodies. The market delights the people by offering a variety of dishes like Rangooni Paratha, Khawsa and Rangooni Kulfi.
The 150-year-old Bazaar which is organised during Ramzan every year marks the communal unity among people. Not only Muslims but people from other beliefs also come and enjoy food here every year and over the years, the footfall has only grown.
The food market including nearly 100 shops starts from the Rander Bus stand area, passes Panch Batti and then ends at the Teen Batti area in Rander. It starts at 3 pm and continues till 3 am. Ilyasbhai, a man who has been doing business in the market for three generations, said, "This shop was started by my grandfather. People from every religion visit the market as the dishes here attract them. The demand doubles in the month of Ramadan."
