Markets Bustling with Pre-Ramzan Shopping

Before Ramzan starts, Hyderabad’s biggest markets become packed with people. In Begum Bazar, traders stock up on large amounts of dates, which are an essential part of breaking the fast. Every day, over ten tonnes of dates arrive from the Middle East to meet the huge demand.

At Charminar, the streets from Shahalibanda to Madina Building turn into a colorful night bazaar, with nearly 3,000 temporary stalls. Thousands of shoppers come here to buy clothes, perfumes, and food.

“Shopping starts slowly but picks up as Ramzan goes on. This is the most important time for our business,” says Abdul Raheem, a trader from Pathergatti. Many families finish their shopping before Ramzan begins or within the first week, so they can focus on prayers and spiritual reflection for the rest of the month.

City Prepares for a Smooth Ramzan

The government has stepped in to make sure Ramzan celebrations go smoothly. Electricity and water departments are working to ensure there are no power cuts or water shortages.

The GHMC (Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation) has started road repairs and cleanliness drives near mosques to keep the city clean for worshippers. The water board has also arranged extra tankers to supply mosques with enough water.

At the same time, police officials have planned strict security measures to keep peace in the city, ensuring that people can observe Ramzan safely.

Mosques Ready for Special Prayers

As Ramzan is a time of deep faith and devotion, mosques in Hyderabad are preparing for large congregational prayers. At Mecca Masjid, one of the most famous mosques, special arrangements have been made for the Taraweeh prayers, which begin on the first night of Ramzan.

The mosque’s ablution tank has been cleaned, and temporary tents have been set up to accommodate more worshippers.

“The ‘Namaz-e-Taraweeh’ will start as soon as the new moon is seen, marking the beginning of Ramzan. Every night, three chapters of the Holy Quran will be recited,” says Abdul Qadeer Siddiqui, superintendent of Mecca Masjid. Specially chosen Huffaz—those who have memorized the Quran—will lead these prayers.

Haleem is Back, But Prices are Higher

No Ramzan in Hyderabad is complete without the city’s most beloved dish—Haleem. As the holy month begins, traditional Haleem bhattis (cooking setups) are being prepared outside major hotels, marking the start of this delicious season.

But this year, rising mutton prices have caused Haleem prices to go up. Last year, a plate of Haleem cost ₹250 to ₹300, but now, it has increased to ₹300 to ₹350 per plate.

Meanwhile, vendors selling chicken Haleem are worried about bird flu, and some are thinking about not selling it this year.
