Dekar Road area, near the MRT.
Beyond the modern arches of lights across the road, welcoming you to the area and the occasion, were awnings over kiosks. The daytime fasts ends with families going out to eat together, buying eats and treats from food stalls in a party atmosphere.
Around the world, festivities include the hanging of traditional lanterns called fanoos.
They often have metal and glass frames with elaborated and detailed patterns.
