Qaranqasho, a special night in Ramadan
As a part of the festivities, children are given sweets and candy, and treated to face painting, balloon art, cartoon characters, games and other fun activities. On this day, mothers also make rice dishes with meat, fish, or chicken, as well as harees and sweets, and distribute them to the poor. In Oman Qaranqasho is celebrated in shopping malls, hotels and other places.
