KISHOREGANJ: Indian sub-continent’s largest Eid Jamaat of holy Eid-ul-Azha was held in historical Sholakia Eidgah of Kishoreganj district with a long-running tradition.

Tens of thousands of devotees from home and abroad joined in the congregation, said our district correspondent.

The congregation was held at around 10:00am, instead of scheduled 9.00am, due to inclement weather on Wednesday.

A huge number of devotees across the world, including Saudi Arabia, Turkey, India, Pakistan and UK, attended the Eid prayers.

Maulana Farid Uddin Masud led the open-air prayer session.

A special munajat was offered seeking divine blessings for peace, development and welfare of the people of the country as well as Muslim Ummah.
