New Delhi: The spread of coronavirus across the country has forced people of Delhi to remain indoors while fasting and offering prayers during this Ramzan.

Religious preachers have also requested Muslims to offer prayers inside their homes and avoid any kind of social gathering.

Though the sheen of Ramzan is being missed this year, celebrations with family are keeping the essence of the festivity intact for most people.
