The Eid-ul-Fitr, one of the greatest religious festivals of Muslims, is being celebrated across Bangladesh amid due solemnity, fervour and gaiety as the holy Ramadan, the month of fasting and abstinence, came to an end.
Devotees offered the Eid-ul-Fitr prayers at mosques, Eidgahs and makeshift prayer venues in Dhaka and elsewhere across the country on Saturday morning.
The country's main Eid jamaat (congregation) in the capital was held at the National Eidgah on the Bangladesh Supreme Court premises at 8:30am. Besides, five Eid congregations were held at the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque.
Law enforcement agencies have taken tight security measures in and around the main Eid congregation.
