KATHMANDU: The Muslim community is observing Eid-ul-Fitr today.
This occasion concludes the month-long Ramadan festival, during which Muslims engage in special prayers and reflection.
Following the Arabic calendar, Eid-ul-Fitr is observed on the first day of the tenth month of the Hijri.
Across the nation, Muslims commemorate this day with fervent prayers and seek blessings from their elders.
Traditionally, during the first three days of the tenth month, individuals attend special prayers and then seek blessings from their elders.
It’s customary to exchange sweets with relatives as tokens of goodwill.
Eid-ul-Fitr holds significance beyond mere festivities; it emphasizes the importance of charity and generosity towards the less fortunate.
Muslims contribute a portion of their savings, as prescribed by the Quran, to support those in need.
As part of the Eid rituals, individuals bathe, don new attire, and offer special prayers before seeking blessings from elders.
The government has announced a public holiday today in observance of this occasion.
