The streets are thronged with ketupat leaves and fairy lights, there is laughter in the air, housewives busy cooking, and everyone seems to be stunningly well-dressed — yes, it’s Raya time!
Hari Raya Aidilfitri is an annually celebrated event that marks the end of the Muslim fasting month, also known as Ramadan.
Most families will ‘cantik raya’ their home by partaking in a thorough spring cleaning. Whether it’s applying a new coat of paint to the walls, placing new carpets, or acquiring new furniture, many folks who are in Raya mood will also go the miles to decorate the house with vibrant fairy lights and decorations, including ribbon ketupats.
And what is Raya, without the traditional cuisine such as rendang, satay, serunding and cookies and treats like kuih bangkit and pineapple tarts? Once you smell the ‘wah, sedapnya’ smell from the house miles away, you’ll know, the makcik-makciks are starting to gather together to cook!
Typically, adults are the ones who give out green packets – also known as duit raya – to children. Giving out green packets symbolises good blessings, generosity, and goodwill towards others – so, elderly parents and domestic helpers can receive green packets too.
It’s time of the year to flaunt your new baju Raya! Women wear the baju kurung, while men typically don a songkok and the baju Melayu. Well, up the ante, by wearing colour-coordinated clothes for Hari Raya, a symbol of family harmony and togetherness. Doing this livens up and adds joy to the occasion. Plus, it looks good when you need to take photos.
But hey, talking about taking photos, is your face Raya-ready for that? With the ‘giler sibuk’ Hari Raya preparations, it’s easy to neglect our skin.
