Eid is celebrated in the country on Saturday.
“Best wishes on Eid-ul-Fitr. May this day further brotherhood and kindness all around. May everyone be happy and healthy. Eid Mubarak!” Modi said on X.
A prominent Islamic festival, Eid ul-Fitr is celebrated to mark the end of Ramadan or Ramzan. Ramadan is one of the holiest months in Islam, when Muslims everywhere fast for nearly 29-30 days from dusk till dawn. At the end of this month, Eid ul-Fitr is celebrated after sighting the crescent Shawwal moon.
Due to the festival being a public holiday, banks, schools, colleges, government offices and other public institutions will remain closed.. As a result, the Reserve Bank of India has also clarified bank holidays for Eid celebrations.
