Thousands offer namaz at Gandhi Maidan, in Bihar

PATNA: After two years of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions, Eid-ul-Zuha (Bakrid) was celebrated with joy and enthusiasm across the state on Sunday. Thousands of Muslims in new clothes thronged the mosques and Eidgahs to offer special prayers. The major congregation was witnessed at Patna Gandhi Maidan where the prayer was led by Maulana Mashood Ahmed Qadri Nadwi, the principal of Shamsul Hooda Madrassa.

CM Nitish Kumar greeted the people on the occasion. “Greetings and best wishes to the state and the countrymen on the occasion of Eid-ul-Azha (Bakrid). It is a festival of infinite faith and sacrifice at the behest of God. The ideal of this festival is to celebrate with mutual brotherhood and harmony,” he tweeted in Hindi.
