In Indonesia, Eid al-Fitr is popularly known by what name?

In Indonesia, Eid al-Fitr is popularly known as Lebaran. The term is widely used alongside formal names such as Hari Raya Idul Fitri and Idul Fitri, and it refers especially to the holiday’s communal and family celebrations.

Lebaran is one of Indonesia’s most important annual observances. Muslims commonly return to their hometowns in a homecoming movement called mudik, visit relatives, wear traditional clothing, exchange forgiveness, and gather for festive meals. The holiday follows Ramadan and begins with Eid prayers after the sighting or determination of the new lunar month.

Food is central to the celebration. Ketupat, rendang, opor ayam, and other regional dishes are commonly served, while children may receive money in colorful envelopes. Zakat and other charitable giving also feature prominently, helping poorer people take part in the holiday.

A common nuance is that Lebaran can also be used in Indonesia for Eid al-Adha, although in everyday usage it is particularly strongly associated with Eid al-Fitr. That broader usage does not change the answer to this question.
