Hyderabad: Muslims in the city are celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr on Friday. The festival is celebrated on the first day of the Islamic month of Shawwal and ends the fasting month of Ramzan.
Since morning, a festive atmosphere prevailed across the city with people rushing
out early in the morning to make last minute purchases. Traffic slowdown was witnessed at several places.
Adhering to the request of community elders and religious scholars, many prayed at their homes instead of heading to mosques and Eidgahs to attend the prayers.
