Eid-ul-Fitr celebrated in Meghalaya

Eid-ul-Fitr, marking the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, was on Saturday celebrated across Meghalaya with prayers.

Thousands of men and children clad in new clothes offered prayers in Eidgahs and mosques in Shillong, Dawki, Nongpoh, Lad Rymbai, Byrnihat and in the Garo Hills region.

The biggest congregation was at the Eidgah of India’s first glass mosque, the Madina Masjid in Shillong, where over 10,000 people offered prayers.

Every Muslim family donated to charity so that the poor can also celebrate the festival.
