As the holy month of Ramazan is continuing with religious zeal, the city of Rawalpindi has transformed into a vibrant hub of activity before the break of dawn.

The tradition of Sehri, a pre-dawn meal eaten before fasting begins, has brought residents together in a celebration of food, faith, and community.

In the quiet hours of the morning, the streets of Rawalpindi come alive with the tantalising aromas of traditional Sehri delicacies.

From steaming plates of nihari and haleem to the sweet, syrupy flavours of falooda and parathas, the city’s food vendors and restaurants offer a diverse array of options to satisfy the cravings of Sehri enthusiasts.

Sabir Khan, a local resident, says, “I love the energy in Rawalpindi during Sehri, the streets are filled with people, and the smell of food is amazing.”

“Sehri is a special time for them, it’s when we come together as a family and share a meal before the day’s fast begins,” he adds. “Whether you are a longtime resident or just visiting, experiencing Sehri in Rawalpindi is a unique and unforgettable experience that captures the essence of Ramadan in Pakistan, he stated.

Another resident Kiran is of the view that Sehri is a time for spiritual reflection and rejuvenation, it’s a blessing to be able to share it with our community.
