Social distancing is the need of the hour, we have to follow it & celebrate our festivals.

Connect with relatives staying in India or abroad using meeting apps or conference video calls. Wish them & indulge in some fun activities like playing games and singing songs.

4. Send Gifts:
Now, when there have been some relaxations for eCommerce companies to deliver essential & non-essential goods, you can arrange for a gift to your dear ones to keep the tradition of Eidi going.
