during the Ramadan festival of Eid
Eid al-Fitr is not a festival that occurs during Ramadan; it is the holiday that marks Ramadan’s end.
Full reasoning
The phrase conflates Ramadan and Eid. Eid al-Fitr begins after Ramadan is over, not during Ramadan.
Authoritative government sources state that Eid al-Fitr "marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan" and "marks the end of the month-long fast of Ramadan." That means calling it a "Ramadan festival" is inaccurate: the Eid associated with Ramadan is the celebration at the end of Ramadan, on the first day of Shawwal.
This correction does not dispute that Burmese Muslims may eat banana cake for Eid celebrations; it corrects the article's mistaken description of when Eid occurs relative to Ramadan.
