Why Timings Differ
Eid namaz is offered shortly after sunrise, which is why cities in eastern India such as Kolkata and Patna see earlier prayers, while northern regions like Srinagar have slightly later timings. Final schedules are typically set by local mosque committees based on ground conditions.
Advisory For Worshippers
Local authorities have urged people to follow basic guidelines, including arriving early, maintaining queue discipline and cooperating with volunteers managing large crowds.
Eid-ul-Fitr, celebrated on the first day of Shawwal, marks the conclusion of Ramadan and is observed with prayers, charity (Zakat al-Fitr), and community gatherings, reflecting gratitude and spiritual fulfilment.
