As thousands of Muslims gathered to break their Rozas at the Jama Masjid in Old Delhi, a few tourists stood-by in silent awe. Many were eager for a chance to better understand the significance of Ramzan and the various rituals associated with breaking the fast.

I am here with a friend, I wanted to join her. I wanted to visit this place and experience this culture.

The visit was organised by a group called, ‘Delhi by Foot’, which helps people explore Delhi’s hidden gems.

Mitra told the Associated Press that their 'Ramzan Walk' has had a lot of takers, as even a lot of locals have hadn't the chance to see the historic mosque, which was built in the 17th century.

The idea is that the city has people from all communities, it has people from all religions... so why not have a medium of exchange which is not just limited to the electronic media, but also experiencing it live, with your own eyes with your own five sense?
