For two years of the pandemic, Eid celebrations and group prayers in mosques were restricted to spread the spread of the COVID. This year, celebrations are supposed to make a return with full enthusiasm. Mosques, both big and small, were all decked up for 'Alvida namaz' and areas around the mosques had been cleaned up for April 29.
Tents have been put up to protect people from the scorching sun. The month of Ramzan is drawing to a close and Eid will be celebrated with full enthusiasm in India and around the world.
Delicacies will be prepared and served after prayers are offered in unison.
