When and where to attend Eid congregations in Dhaka

The National Moon Sighting Committee on Sunday evening confirmed the sighting of the Shawwal moon paving the way to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr on Monday.

On Eid day, worshippers across Dhaka will gather at Eidgahs and mosques to say two units of prayers.

Main Eid congregation at 8:30am

The prime Eid congregation will be held at the National Eidgah on the Supreme Court premises at 8:30am. In case of unfavourable weather, the congregation will be moved to Baitul Mukarram National Mosque at 9:00am.

The Chief Adviser, Dr Muhammad Yunus, members of the Advisory Council, Supreme Court judges, politicians, senior government officials, foreign diplomats, and people from all walks of life are expected to attend.
