An Iftar gathering organised by the Kerala State Sunni Students Federation (SSF) at the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) centre at Perinthalmanna in the district provided a memorable time for students from across the country. The Iftar offered a rich blend of traditional Kerala delicacies and North Indian dishes.

The Iftar featured a diverse range of dishes, including traditional Malayali favourites as well as North Indian specialities like Mohabbat-ka-Sharbat, chena, pakoda, and kachadi. A fruit platter was added to the varied spread.
