The indelible event had a plethora of activities to celebrate the auspicious occasion.

A video of a dialogue session in the mosque, enacted by the students, was another informative session that enlightened the beholders with a deep understanding of the reward of fasting, observing abstinence, and bequeathing. To make the event a distinctive one, there was an enthralling dance performed by the students of grade 7 and the excited audience tapped their feet to the tune of the Eid song. The chanting of Takbeerat-Al-Eid by the students of grade 4 was yet another attraction of the event.
