Despite a scorching Sun, Muslims came out to celebrate Id-ul-Fitr at the end of their Ramzan fasting and offered namaz at various Idgah maidans in their villages, towns and cities in the districts of Dharwad, Haveri, Gadag and Uttara Kannada on Thursday.
In anticipation of large mass prayers as part of Ramzan, the police imposed restrictions on movement of vehicles on several roads. Despite the restrictions, there were huge crowds at the Igah maidans and, in some places, the crowds spilled over to the adjoining roads.
As has been the practice, Muslim religious heads addressed the gatherings during the mass prayers.
