Ramadan is highly associated with family gatherings, where relatives congregate to break their fast together in a warm, familiar environment. Because of border closures and lockdowns, this has been a challenge for many Indonesians in the past two years.

With more people vaccinated, travelling abroad is no longer restricted in most parts of the world and Indonesia also has eased its quarantine rules in many areas in Java and Bali.
