Amidst the jubilant spirit of Eid-ul-Fitr, Muslims gathered for the main congregation this morning at 8:30 am at the National Eidgah in the capital, reports UNB.

Following the prayers, munajat was offered seeking divine blessings for peace, prosperity, and the overall well-being of the nation.

People from all walks of life joined in the celebrations, reinforcing the message of harmony and inclusivity that Eid embodies.

Eid prayers were also held at the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque. People from different areas of Dhaka started arriving at the national mosque with prayer mats early in the morning.

The first jamaat at the mosque was held at 7 am this morning.

A total of five congregations were held at Baitul Mukarram till 10:45 am.

Millions of the capital’s residents have left the city in the last few days to celebrate the occasion with their loved ones.

Across Bangladesh, Muslims are holding Eid congregations in Eidgahs, mosques and open spaces.

The national flag has been hoisted atop government and non-government office buildings. The main city streets and road islands have been decorated.

Television channels and radio stations are airing special programmes on this occasion.
