Tharaavees

by Iyath Adam

Tharaavees or tharaavees dhamu keun is the Maldivian tradition of eating after the ‘Tarawih’ prayers during Ramadan. Tharavees prayers are done right after Isha prayer (the fifth and last prayer of the day). 

In the Maldives, the tharaavees prayer usually lasts from around 7:30 pm to 8:30 or 9:30 pm. For most households, after tharaavees prayers is a time for gathering and enjoying activities and food together. 

For a lot of people now, tharaavees at home typically consists of leftover food from Iftar – mainly short eats and finger food at that. However, if it’s a tharaavees get-together amongst family, friends or colleagues, separate dishes might be made depending on the menu and number of people. 

Here, we’ve made a list of some tharaavees favourites, perfect for any tharaavees feast!
