On the occasion, the faithful wear clean, neat clothes and offer Eid prayers at mosques, `Eidgahs' and open places across the country - seeking divine blessings for peace, progress and prosperity.
Following the Eid prayers, Muslims will spend their time feasting with family and friends and feeding those who are less fortunate. Sweets and other special dishes would be prepared for serving the guests. People will also exchange gifts on the occasion.
