Sharing ‘Takjil’ to Boost Kinship
During the fasting month of Ramadan, non-Muslims in several areas are providing and distributing free takjil to Muslims. The aroma of takjil from residents of different faiths tightens the bonds of kinship.

At least 400 orphans and a number of parents gathered at the Dhanagun Temple to pray and pray together before breaking the fast, Thursday (13/4/2024).
Adah Jubaedah, 50, and her two children were walking to Plaza Bogor on Jl. Suryakencana in Bogor, West Java, on Sunday (9/4/2023). This shopping center is only around 50 meters from Wihara Dhanagun (Hok Tek Bio). As she walked, a member of the vihara handed Adah a bag of free takjil(breaking-of-the-fast snacks)consisting of rice cakes, dates and es sirop selasih (basil seed syrup with ice).
Adah felt happy. With this gift, the housewife in Cisarua, Bogor, would not need to look for takjil to break her fast that day. Furthermore, finding takjil was often time-consuming.
