Chaand Raat
''Chaand Raat'' (Hindi: चाँद रात; Urdu: ''; ''Bengali: চাঁদ রাত, (Raat'' )''; ''literally, ''Night of the Moon'') is a Bengali, Hindi, Urdu locution used in Bangladesh, Pakistan and India for the eve of the Muslim festival of Eid ul-Fitr; it can also mean a night with a full moon
''Chaand Raat'' is a time of celebration when families and friends gather in open areas at the end of the last day of Ramadan to spot the new moon, which signals the arrival of the Islamic month of Shawwal and the day of Eid. Once the moon is sighted, people wish each other ''Chaand Raat Mubarak'' ("Have a blessed night of the new moon") or ''Eid Mubarak'' ("Blessings of the Eid day"). Women and girls decorate their hands with mehndi (henna), and people prepare desserts for the next day of Eid and do the last round of shopping.
City streets have a festive look, and brightly decorated malls and markets remain open late into the night. ''Chaand Raat'' is celebrated festively and passionately by Muslims (and occasionally non-Muslims as well) all over South Asia, and in socio-cultural significance, this night is comparable to Christmas Eve in Christian nations.
==Etymology==
The term is derived from the Sanskrit words ''candrá'' (चंद्र) "moon"〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title =चन्द्र, candra, moon )〕 and ''rā́tri'' (रात्रि) "night".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title =रात्रि, raatri, night )〕
