The main Eid-ul-Fitr congregation was held at the National Eidgah Maidan at 8:30am on Monday (31 March), with Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus participating alongside the chief justice, Supreme Court and High Court judges, members of the Council of Advisers, political leaders, senior government officials, and diplomats from various Muslim nations.
Thousands of devotees attended the congregation under strict security arrangements.
They began arriving at the High Court-adjacent Eidgah grounds two hours before the prayers commenced.
Mufti Mohammad Abdul Malek, Khatib of Baitul Mukarram National Mosque, led the prayers, while Muazzin Muhammad Habibur Rahman served as the Qari.
The National Eidgah, prepared under the supervision of Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC), spans approximately 322,800 square feet and can accommodate up to 35,000 devotees.
