Eid-ul-Fitr, one of the biggest religious festivals of the Muslims, is being celebrated by Muslims across the country on Tuesday with due solemnity, fervour, and enthusiasm marking and end of the holy Ramadan, the month of fasting and abstinence.
The very auspicious occasion began with the sighting of the Shawwal moon last evening and reached the climax this morning amid offering the Eid-ul-Fitr prayers by millions from all strata of life at mosques, eidgahs and makeshift prayer venues in the capital and elsewhere across the country.
During munajats after Eid congregations (jamaats), the Muslims also prayed for divine blessings to help strengthen national unity against all odds and destructive activities, including terrorism and militancy.
The country’s main Eid jamaat (congregation) in the capital was held at the National Eidgah on the Bangladesh Supreme Court premises at 8.30 in the morning.
The biggest Eid congregation in the country on Sholakia Eidgah Maidan in Kishoreganj held at 10:00am this morning.
