Abstract The Sallah, known as Eid al Kabir or Tabaski in other parts of the Muslim world, is a celebration to mark the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting for Muslims. The head officials of rural districts come in procession during Sallah to greet the Emir and receive presents. Body guards of messengers of the Emir are visible in their red garments.
