Ramadan

The famous food stalls and shops on Mumbai's Mohammed Ali Road are closed during India's lockdown. "This is the first time I'm seeing Mohammed Ali Road come to a standstill," says a restaurant owner.

Giving to the poor is an essential part of the holy month, which began Friday, and with so many people thrown out of work, observers say it's particularly needed now.

The clampdown on public gatherings was openly defied by clerics and worshippers. Now the government has changed the rules as the holy month is about to begin.

From drive-through iftars, to card exchanges, Muslims adapt traditions to try to find a sense of community while staying apart.
