KATHMANDU: Muslims are celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr, one of the most significant festivals in the Islamic community.

This festival marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, during which Muslims observe fasting (Roza).

During Ramadan, Muslims refrain from eating, drinking, and other physical comforts from dawn till dusk.

This period is seen as a time for spiritual purification, practicing self-discipline, charity, empathy, and self-control.

Eid-ul-Fitr is celebrated on the first day of the Islamic month of Shawwal, following the conclusion of Ramadan.

It is a day of joy, thanksgiving, and communal prayers.

In Nepal, the Muslim community celebrates Eid with great enthusiasm, and the government has made it a public holiday, allowing people to gather and observe the day with their families and friends.

At the Panch Kashmiri Takia Mosque in Thimdhara, Kathmandu, a large crowd of worshippers has gathered to offer prayers and celebrate this auspicious day.

The atmosphere is filled with joy, as people come together to mark the end of Ramadan and the beginning of a new chapter in their lives, while embracing the values of peace, harmony, and brotherhood.
