Muslims across the country filled mosques and Eidgahs to say Eid-ul-Fitr prayers marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
The Eid-ul-Fitr festival traditionally occurs with the first sighting of the new moon and brings to a close a month of fasting from sunrise to sunset.
Just like every Eid, Muslims race towards the shower before prayers and they rush to mosques and Eidgahs (open-air mosques) and then return to spend the day with family and friends.
Muslim families are also known to visit their relatives’ graves who have passed away and pay their respects as part of Eid rituals.
The country’s largest Eid congregation is set to be held at Sholakia Eidgah in Kishoreganj district. Lakhs of Muslims will offer prayers there seeking divine blessings, peace and progress for the country.
In the capital, the main Eid congregation will be held at the National Eidgah near the High Court at 8:30am. Khatib of the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque Prof Maulana M Salahuddin will lead the prayer. President Abdul Hamid will offer the Eid prayers at the National Eidgah.
