DEHLI: As Eid is being observed in India today, various festival is being celebrated in various regions.
Eid is being commemorated across India. While Muslims worldwide spotted the crescent moon on April 9, it was visible in only a few regions of India, namely Kerala and Jammu & Kashmir. Consequently, Eid-ul-Fitr was observed on April 10 in Ladakh, Jammu & Kashmir, and Kerala, whereas the rest of the country will celebrate it today with much pomp and enthusiasm. Similarly, in countries such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Egypt, Turkey, Iran, USA, and the United Kingdom, among others in the Middle East, the crescent moon was not sighted on April 8, leading to the marking of Chand Raat on April 9 evening, followed by Eid celebrations on April 10.
